+Including PCL-Graphics in TeX documents:
+
+The changes I made were for the HPLJ2P set of commands. I am not sure if they
+would still work for the III series printers.
+
+Basically the program strips commands related to setting fonts, pagelength,etc.
+It also strips all ascii text. The commands that are passed on to the printer
+are the following :
+ The commands setting the cursor position - these are modified to take
+ into account the current postion of the cursor
+ The commands setting the printing resolution
+ The raster graphics commands
+ The rectangle drawing commands
+
+The program has been tested with output from
+ DrawPerfect/WordPerfect
+ QuattroPro
+ Ansel
+ Mathcad
+
+The way that we use the facility is as follows
+
+\begin{picture}{X,Y} %Xand Y are the physical dimensions of the picture
+\put(0,0){/special{hpfile=filename}}
+\end{picture}
+
+This enables latex to know the size of the picture and so place it correctly.
+The picture environment can also be included inside a figure.
+
+If you are unclear about something please feel free to contact me. I hope this
+modification is of use to other people as well.
+
+Cheers
