Our engineering office has two primary drawing tools. AutoCAD, used
by a few CAD-intensive AT-class workstations, and MacDraw, which most
do-it-yourselfers have found access to. Most "management" workstations here
are Macintoshes.
Our presentation capabilities have evolved around our AT computers
(AutoCAD drawing --> screen image capture --> PC-driven "slide show" -->
large screen projectors) using EGA video format.
Since our world is coming to include more and more Macintoshes, an
interface to our PC-hosted presentation world is required. I need to
convert drawings and pictures from the Macintosh to EGA. This seems to
be two separate problems:
1) Convert MacDraw Postscript-formatted files from the Macintosh
to AutoCAD on the IBM PC.
2) Convert MacPaint pictures to EGA format displayable via one
of the popular PC paint programs (such as EGA Paint).
I would greatly appreciate any information concerning either of these
conversions from Macintosh to PC.
