Does anyone know of commercial or public domain software packages that
will permit the transfer of MacPaint documents to an IBM PC via (prefer-
ably) direct linkup or modem, and would afterwards convert them to a format
usable by an IBM?

I have a routine written in Turbo Pascal that I can make into a .COM file
that takes binary MacPaint data and makes a pretty nice image on an EGA or 
CGA.  I forgot who wrote it, but I do have source.

	There was a program posted in net.micro.mac a while ago called
"readmac" that would convert macpaint images downloaded to a pc 
to display images that could then be captured by frieze from PCPAINTBRUSH.

It is not too big, and I could mail it to you.

   i recall an article in the not so distant past (maybe summer 86)
in Byte Magazine about transferring macpaint pics into ibm format.

As far as transferring the files from Mac ---> IBM you should be able to find
a version of Kermit somewhere.  I know of MS Kermit for IBMs, and I would 
assume that there is a version out for the Mac.

There is a version of Kermit for the Mac.  You can use the straight binary
settings for the Macintosh Kermit to send files to the PC.  I have done this
a few times.  You can also use a hardware - software package called "pc to
mac and back" -- this I haven't used.
