I would like to produce encapsulated Postscript from figures that I've made
with MacIntosh drawing programs (MacDraw II, Canvas, ...).  I want to include
the encapsulated Postscript into Scribe documents (Scribe is a text formatter
on Unix systems).  Holding down the 'F' key during printing is not good enough
since it does not compute the bounding box.  Exporting Postscript from
FreeHand is fine but it does not produce Postscript for pictures pasted in
from the clipboard.

Can anybody give me pointers to commercially available programs that can do
what I need?  Or has anybody written a Pascal, C, or Lisp program that
produces Postscript from PICT files?

Please respond by e-mail since I don't read this group.

Thanks in advance,

Andreas Girgensohn
