As it turns out, for our drawing needs, idraw 2.5 coupled with a
plot(5) to idraw converter from rich@rice.edu, allows us to do things
that we can't do at all on the Mac.  

In particular, it allows us to use Unix based data analysis packages
(like the S package) and then edit and annotate the plots using
idraw.  And by keeping everything on the Suns, we won't have to
continuously copy MacDraft(tm) generated PostScript(tm) files from the
macs to incorporate them into LaTeX documents on the Suns.

Quite an improvement.

Thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions.
