Is there anyway to get MacDraw to open a file it previously
saved in PostScript?  Background: We draw on a Mac, uplink
the PostScript files to UNIX, and source them into our troff
documents.  We archive the entire document on tape.  If we
need to go back and update the drawings, we either have to
be able to get MacDraw to operate on the PostScript code it
generated originally, or we will also have to archive the
MacDraw files on Mac discs.  We would prefer not to have to
keep an archive of the Mac discs!

I tried to 'open' a PostScript file in MacDraw, but the file
does not show up in the 'open' dialog box.  Any other tricks
here?  As alway, thanks in advance.  And please, email me
if possible.  I simply can't keep up with the volume in this
newsgroup!
