I finally finished up my hpgl interface for Ubuntu/linux it takes postscript/pdf/plt files from any application and allows you to select options in a gui then outputs to a raw cups cutter/engraver/router etc.

Can be downloaded at http://www.securetech-ns.ca/camm-linux.html

If would be nice if you could give your project a unique name. I mean, come on! I'm about to write news on v1.5 and I don't even know how to call the application in the news topic's header

I was busy getting a couple script errors fixed and didn't even give it a thought as far as a name....
This is my first software project so I'm not familiar with development protocols.

Let's go with "Tux Plot" and I'll edit the scripts this weekend to reflect the name.

i added a few of videos on youtube of his program there is 3 there short and if you would like i can do more in depth with more detail
