From 1977 when the organization acquired its first Applicon system, until 1982 when the off-line graphics processing system was added, the production of Gerber photoplotter tapes and APPLE files presented an ever increasing load on the Applicon systems. This paper describes how the organization is now using a VAX to offload this work from the Applicon systems and presents the techniques used to automate the flow of data from the Applicon sources to the final users.
