  Hi All,

I noticed on the xfig page 

  http://duke.usask.ca/~macphed/soft/fig/

a reference to a "HGI" package:

  hgi (Hefti's Graphic Interface) is a toolbox for octave to produce
  FIG format output. FIG version 3.2. Author Simon Hefti. 

there is a link to hgi, but it is stale. Simon sent a message

  http://www.octave.org/mailing-lists/octave-sources/1999/1

to octave-sources, but the links he gives are stale too.

  Would anyone (possibly Simon) still have the code? I was going to
roll my own xfig-toolbox, but then I thought, as any perl^H^H^H^H
octave programmer should, that re-inventing the wheel is not
necessarily a good idea.

  Cheers,

  Etienne
