I have several MacPaint files whose pictures I want to include in a
LaTeX document on a UNIX system (don't ask me why :-).  On our UNIX
system you can print a LaTeX document with `dvips' to include
Encapsulated PostScript files.

Is there a way to convert MacPaint files (or SuperPaint files, for that
matter) to Encapsulated PostScript files (EPSF)?  I scanned the FAQ for
comp.sys.mac. (on Sumex in report/).   It only tells me how to print to
disk, thereby generating a PostScript file.  Does this file conform to
EPSF?  Will it print correctly when processed on a non-Macintosh?
