[cups.general] cups Digest, Vol 50, Issue 16

[John Meshkoff]

The file in question, as I indicated, is HP-GL, not HP-GL/2.  There
should not be a problem with HP-GL/2 AFAIK; it's only these old Autocad
HP-GL files that are not being detected as their format is different.

I also just found by looking at some other plot files generated from
autocad 10 that sometimes there were not two "PU;" commands but only one
following "IN;SC;", so I have removed the second one from my autocad 10
rule; I also AND-ed a string rule for the first three hex bytes from
those files to my first rule. With the hex identifiers AND-ed, I
probably only need "IN;" in the first rule, too. I should probably
re-write it for the byte-order now, for neatness.

Thanks, John
