The "pre2ncgm" command reads a pre-CGM NCAR metafile from standard input and writes an NCAR CGM file to standard output. When plotted, the output file should have virtually the same appearance as the input file.

-n

When this option appears, all text and header records which appear in the input file (created by PRSIM) are not copied to the output file.

pre2ncgm < input-file > output-file

causes "input-file" (which should be a pre-CGM NCAR metafile) to be read and the equivalent NCAR CGM file to be written to "output-file").
