[comp.sys.mac] getting mac drawings into IBM

marcus@wdl1.UUCP (Marcus Louie) (06/25/88)

I am interested in finding out a way to view Macintosh drawings on an
IBM PC.  In particular, it will be wonderful if I could view MacDraw
drawings on the IBM with editing capabilities.  But getting any drawing
from the Mac to IBM would be a great help.  I know that IBMs read IGES
and HPGL so if I could get a list of drawing/graphics packages that run
on the Macintosh that outputs either of those formats it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

I don't know about IGES or HPGL, but there are hundreds of IBM users hooked 
on MacPaint pictures (they call them 'Readmacs'), which allows them to 
view (and with the right software) convert them to PC Paint and other 
formats.
