The SuperPaint native file saving mode is simply PICT2 format, as
described in _Inside Macintosh: Volume 5_. (SuperPaint 2.0, that is.)
MacPaint format is described in some tech note or other -- it's not
very hard. I think MacDraw uses PICT or PICT2 format; PICT2 is a superset
of PICT, so if you build a decoder for PICT2, you get the other one for
free.

I've written a PICT2 decoder as part of a larger project. It isn't hard,
just tedious.
