I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right
direction for a CGM-->PICT translation program for the Macintosh.
Cheers,
Rob.

I've seen a couple of commercial packages that can convert PC graphics formats to PICT and the other way around. The best deal at the moment seems the MacLinkPlus translation package from DataViz, which in it's latest version 4.5 translates CGM, IMG, GEM and DXF graphics formats to PICT (only one way). See MacWeek No.29, pp14 for a review. MacLinkPlus can be obtained from all the major mail order companies. There is also a Mac package called PICTure this that converts various graphic formats (including CGM, but also the bitmapped ones) into PICT. The company: FGM, phone 703 478 9881 Another Mac translation package is MetaPICT from GSC Associates (phone 213 379 2113). I have used version 1.02 which worked partly. Maybe they have a better version now. There is a shareware package that you might want to try. It can be found as cgm-maker-102.hqx in the util directory of the sumex archives. It did not work on my CGM files. I had the impression that it is meant for bitmap graphics, if such a thing exists within the CGM standard. For PC owners there is Xport from Micrografx that does all the above mentioned things but also going from PICT to CGM etc. The can be reached at: Phone 800 272 3729 Phone 214 234 1769 Fax 214 234 2410 Hope to this helps some folks!
