Hi all,

Well, here I am, answering my own query.  Life is strange.

Firstly,  THANKS TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE who took the time to respond.

Now on to business.  I did some further poking around and some further
thinking on what EXACTLY does the manual mean.  It seems that when they
say that PICT format does not contain any object information they also
imply that PICT scans will be interpreted as a bit map.

So, a 120 K file in PICT becomes a 1.05 Meg file in Macdraw II.  Which
interestingly enough is what a TIFF version of the same file would be.
The conclusion is, if you are going to scan, have mucho memory.

By the way, all I needed was a series of background templates for layered
drawings.
