Apologies to all, but I can't find a path to wang...

In <some magic article #>, ephraim@wang says...

>Perenially, people ask about the MacPaint document format.  Here it is:
[followed by a nice description of MacPaint document format]

Alas, this description presupposes a lot more knowledge of MacThings
than I have.  The reason I want to know about MacPaint format is that
a local BBS system has some program called READMAC for the International
BM that will let one print MacPaint pictures on Epson (among other)
printers.  I have an Epson printer, but no International BM or clone,
and no Mac, but I do wonder how I might print these files.

So, while ephraim@wang's posting was admirable and fine for its probably-
intended audience, I'd be much appreciative of information/references
that would help me figure out what "patterns" are and what PackBits does
(since the files I've seen are short enough that they probably did go
through PackBits).
