Here's some information on where to get gplot, which has mac
and sun versions. gplot will handle most cgm's, although I
found that most cgm->PICT conversions left much to be desired.

A better solution might be: cgm->EPS or cgm->PS->EPS. The
EPS file then can be imported into pagelayout programs like
pagemaker.

Your milage may vary.
