I'm writing a program that creates PICT files that must be compatible with all
machines so I'm restricted to PICT1.  I was thinking of creating the file by
replacing the StdPutPic procedure with one that simply writes the bytes to a
file with the appropriate header.

However, on a Mac II, I suppose PICT2 opcodes would be generated.  To write
a PICT1 file, do I have to skip QuickDraw and process it myself?  Since Apple
always wants you to use their picture mechanisms, there must be a cleaner way
(I hope)?
