[net.micro.mac] LisaDraw or MacDraw file formats

bwf@ihlpl.UUCP (Fecht) (03/31/86)

Attention: Larry Rosenstein!

(I'm told this helps getting an answer to the following
type of question.)

My project uses a Lisa to draw figures for our
internal documentation.  We like the user interface,
but need a way to get our LisaDraw figures into
a text format that can be source controlled and also
drawn on the hard copy (Xerox) printers that our comp
center provides via plan ordinary text processing
(mm, pic, tbl,...) tools.

I'd like to know:

+ is the LisaDraw file formats advertised somewhere so
  that we can write a tool to do something like convert
  a LisaDraw file into a 'pic' file?

+ better yet, does such a tool exist?

Thanks,
