Is there any application which will allow >me to generate a Draw display using postscript input? You might consider "The Curator" by Solutions, Inc. It allows conversion between a number of formats, PICT and PostScript being among them. I realize that this doesn't solve your problem of capturing them to the Mac, but without knowing what mainframe you're using I couldn't recommend anything other than saving the data to an ascii file on the mainframe and then transmitting via a terminal program to the Mac.
