The format is HPGL. The emTeX-distribution contains PCLTOMSP.EXE which
converts HPGL-pictures into PCX or MSP format.

Then you can either use the \special-command to include them into your
TeX-document or convert the pictures with BM2FONT.EXE into pixel-fonts. 

Then use DVIPS.EXE to create a postscript file.
