         AST TURBOLASER  /  HARVARD PRESENTATION GRAPHICS


PROBLEM:  When plotting a chart or graphics using  TurboLaser
plotter emulations in HPGL mode, the output is printed in reverse
image. Diagrams, charts and characters are white on a black
background instead of black on a white background.

AST Systems Engineering attributes this problem to nonstandard
plotter commands being sent to the printer from the Harvard
Presentation program.
