Subject: Including SuperPaint 2.0 pictures into nroff / psroff

Is it possible to include pictures generated in SuperPaint 2.0 into
nroff documents? If so, how?

We are documenting a second year group project, and decided not to do
it on the Mac, but on UNIX with nroff/psroff/tbl etc. But we want to produce
our pictures on the Mac, using SuperPaint 2.0.

We managed to get a document on using psfig, that claims that including
macintosh generated pictures is *easy*.

But we couldn't get psfig to work with SuperPaint 2.0.
We tried just about every combination of Control-K, F, macps, and
banging the
terminal we could think of, but all we got was a large collection of scrap
paper. When you have to pay per page, this is rather frustrating.

Finally we psfigged EPS files generated from CricketDraw 1.1. That did work,
but CricketDraw 1.1 is rather choosy when it comes to importing pictures
via the clipboard, and we don't like CricketDraw anyway.

So we want succes stories! Who uses SuperPaint 2.0 for their nroff pictures?
How do you do you do it?
Is there a utility onverting PICT2 to EPSF?

All help appreciated,
