Dear Friends,

I have some "old" graphic HGL files that I can no longer display on my computer. Does anyone know of a way to convert this type of files to somethinmg more common such as BMP or JPG, or something else?. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks for your help

I use Paint Shop Pro (JASC software) routinely. It works with hgl files, and can save to a wide range of other file types. It used to be a shareware program, but has recently moved "up-market" to compete with Photoshop. If you do a Google on "Paint Shop Pro" and "shareware" you should be able to find at least a free trial copy of one of the older versions.

Thanks very much for the tip about Paint Shop Pro. I have also learned that Windows 95 has a filter that allows the HGL file transfer into Powerpoint presentations. Unfortunately the filter is not present in later Windows versions.
