Does anybody out there know the format of data structures that
MacDraw uses? What's the difference between a drawing stored in
PICT format and MacDraw format? What IS the PICT format?
Inside Macintosh does NOT tell how graphic elements are stored
in PICT format. It is relatively easy to pass pointers to PICTs
to draw them onto various bitmaps, but what I want to do is
convert the PICT or MacDraw file into other more standard graphic
file formats. (Like a pic file on UNIX for shipping to laser printers,
or some Virtual Device Interface file format for use with other
computers) 
 To do this I will need to know the EXACT format of the data file.

	If anyone knows these data structures I would appreciate the
info. If I get enough responces, I will post to the net.
