MacPaint stores files as a compressed bitmap.  I have documentation that
describes the method that it uses for compressing.  I also have a program
that runs on a unix host that will take a file out of binhex format.  If
circuits begin appearing in MacPaint format, I could post these and a
sufficiently motivated (ie no mac) news-reader could write a program to
display the bitmap on their favorite computer.
