Is there some program, public domain or otherwise, which is either
functionally equivalent to MACDRAW in that it can read and manipulate
MACDRAW or PICT format files, OR, some program which can convert those
files into a form usable by some other PC graphic-oriented program?
The particular data in question is a very detailed map containing some
2200 MACDRAW objects, and we would obviously like to maintain the same
scaling and proportions in a PC environment (on a Zenith 248).  We
would also like to avoid conversion through bit-mapped raster images
if at all possible.

Any and all pointers welcome.
