I have seen a number of requests for and no answers on how MacDraw stores its
files.  (the Macpaint format is a simple binary encoding with repeat groups;
It has been described here several times, and is in IM and Mac Revealed)

From the descriptions I have seen of these files, it occurs to me that the files
are probably a list of calls to QuickDraw, and thus probably non-trivial to 
convert back into graphics

Are there any gurus out there who can confirm or debunk this?
