+% This is a set of utilities that I have used in London
+% to print large files to an HP 6xx series plotter.
+% At least the way I use it, this plotter handles the top
+% margin in a bizzare way that requires some preprocessing
+% to get things into a predictable location on the physical
+% page. I don't provide any documentation here, because the
+% chances are good that my problems were one-off problems.
+% But it you, too, have trouble with HP 6xx series plotters
+% and dvips, I will be happy to explain how this stuff works
+% together (if I can remember).
