Has anybody written or seen advertised a program that will convert MacPaint
or MacDraw documents to "pic" command files?  I am not sure it can be done
(well, it seems a lot more likely for MacDraw than MacPaint), but AT&T
supposedly has one for the Blit*, which suggests it might be possible.

For those not familiar with it, "pic" is a program that runs under Unix to
draw pictures on devices such as laser printers, using a (complicated)
picture-description language.  The language looks a lot like a symbolic
form of the drawing primitives for QuickDraw.


*Blit is probably a trademark of AT&T
