Bounding Box info for MacDraw files

I need an easy way to determine the Bounding Box parameters for
PostScript files created by MacDraw.  Right now we are calculating
this stuff by hand -- very time consuming and no fun.
Are there any public domain programs that can do this
automatically?  Or perhaps any easier way than doing it long-hand?

I tried sourcing a pict-format MacDraw file into MacDraft to see
if MacDraft would give BB parameters, but it doesn't.  Are there
any Mac programs that can read pict format that also will spit
out a PostScript description with BB parameters?  How about
MacDraw II?  I remember reading something about this.  Does it
exist and does it supply BB parameters?

Please send email as it is difficult to keep up with this group.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks as usual...
