Nope, MacDraw rotates the bit images, which is why you can look at it
and see it on an ImageWriter.
However, it also includes TextBegin and TextEnd picture comments,
so that it can later rotate it back to normal (editable) text,
and so the LaserWriter driver can recognize it as a rotated string
rather than just bits.
See Macintosh Technical Notes #27 and #91.
