[comp.text.tex] Need to insert Mac graphics into standard Unix TeX

   I apolegize if this subject has been discussed before; I'm not a regular
reader of this group.  Actually, I've never used TeX but I'm trying to help
out a Math Professor of mine.  He has a program that he wrote on the Mac.
He uses  Capture to do a screen dump and then inserts the graphic into the
TeX program on the Mac.  That part works fine.  Now he needs to transfer the
graphics to TeX on a unix machine.  Can this be done?  I don't know how
to insert a graphic into TeX but I'm guessing that if I save the Mac screen
dump as a postscript file then it can be inserted into the TeX file as a
special include command?
   The Mac screen dump from Capture is a bit map with color info.  I think
it should be fairly simple to convert this QuickDraw bitmap into a PostScript
bitmap or a tiff bitmap.  Anyways, I need to start at the very beginning and
any help would be greatly appreciated.
