We do this by generating an EPS file with UNIRAS. I refer to lots of other
postings for the definition of the format of an EPS file. When you transfer
this plain ascii text file to the Mac, you can readily import it to luxurious
applications like PageMaker, Freehand etc.

There is a DA called SmartArt (I, II or III) from Emerald City Software
that can "reimage" this EPS file: The PostScript code is sent to your
LaserWriter, which returns the bitmap to your Mac. With a simple copy
and paste, you can then import the graphic to e.g. MS word. When printing,
the bitmap is ignored, and the PostScript code is used to generate the
full resolution image on paper.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work with MacDraw. But then again, MacDraw is
incompatible with almost everything!
