A HPGL file is gets often .plt extension, that is all. Sometimes .hgl is also used as extension. So: PLT is not a file format. My MS Word can read a .plt file (thanks to a nice filter) and the result is a nice vectored picture in a document that can be scaled to any size without losing resolution (because it is vectorized!)
