Does anyone know of a program that will convert binary metafiles (CGM)
to text metafiles (and visa versa)?

[CGM stands for Computer Graphic Metafiles. It is an object-oriented
graphics specification language. It is used by the new version of Lotus 1-2-3
and several word processors (some call it *.GMF). The standard is 
described in the book "CGM and CGI" by David Arnold. There are three
encodings for CGM files: binary, character, and text.]
