[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Creating PICT on non-mac

sather@blake.acs.washington.edu (Jim Sather) (03/06/90)

Having figured out how to create a PICT file using QuickDraw on the mac I was
wondering how I would go about creating one on a non-Mac machine. I.e IBM
PC or even Unix.  After reading through a large portion of IM V it doesn't
seem to difficult to do the pictdata itself but I would like to be able to
create fully usable PICT file with creator, type, icon etc...  Anyone have
any experience creating PICT files without using QuickDraw?  Any specifics
on file format, opcodes, etc., as well as any overall approach hints would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
