MacVector.programs, and while the next version of DNA Strider
*might* support it, the need is immediate.
Any help appreciated. Please respond to me at the below address
and I'll summarize responses.

If anyone has experience using CHEM3D/CHEM3D+ and ALCHEMYII I
appreciated to hear a comparison between the two software packages...
cost, performance, ease of use . . . . Furthermore does anyone know
a US phone number for Tripos who makes ALCHEMYII?
Thanx in advance,

It's a little difficult to answer this question without more information:
eg: what do you want to do with the file? Just print it? Add labels
and arrows (edit it)? What printer do you want to print it to? An HPGL
or postscript printer, or some other kind? Bearing this in mind....
If all you want to do is print the file, then if you have a postscript
printer, you should be able to just do "print file.nam" on your PC. The
same for the HPGL file, if you have an HPGL printer (once you have transferred
the file to your PC). If you have a dot-matrix printer, you should
investigate the PRNTGL.UAA utility avilable on the EMBL fileserver in the
DOS_SOFTWARE directory. The description says: "Prints HPGL files
(like produced by GCG) on matrix or laser printer".
Alternatively, you could load the file as a graphics image into WordPerfect
(5.0 or 5.1). WP supports import of Encapsulated Postscript images (I know
this works; I've done it) and HPGL imagees. You can then print the
whole thing out using whatever printer you have, and I'm sure that WP
has a printer driver for your printer. (There isn't one that they don't
have!). You'll have problems (of course) if your printer doesn't support
graphics! This will also allow you to add labels to the picture,
if that's what you want to do ('tho it won't be particularly easy, as WP
is still a character-based app.)
If you want to edit the image (add labels, arrows, or change pieces of it),
then I have no good suggestions. I know that MicroGrafx Designer (my
favourite drawing program) does not import Postscript or HPGL, tho' it
does export them.
I hope this helps...............
