We are standing in need of information about the internal file formats used in Word, MacDraft, and Canvas for the Mac. We need to convert some files from these programs to something a SPARC can display, *any* information about internal file formats or transfer formats (TIFF?) etc. would be greatly appreciated. Pointers to such information also welcome. Larry Smith smith@ctron.com

Pointers to such information also welcome. MacDraft's format is proprietary to IDD and you'd have to ask them for it. As far as I know, nobody else knows it. But since I worked there before, I can tell you that you don't want read it. Trust me. The format takes a lot of code to be able to read and some parts are not even understood within IDD itself (don't ask). It would be much better to convert the documents to PICT and use some PICT conversion scheme. +++ Lloyd Lim Internet: lim@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu America Online: LimUnltd Compuserve: 72647,660 US Mail: 215 Lysle Leach Hall, U.C.
