We have recently been exploring the different options for getting Postscript
output from MacDrawII into another application, namely PCTeX.  (Their 
Postscript printer driver allows the inclusion of other postscript files.)
We have tried macps (for unix) and DistillPS (for the Mac), but in the end
the way that seemed to work best was a set of LaserPrep files for 
non-Apple postscript printers.  One justs gets the Postscript file without
the LaserPrep header using command-F, and then appends it to the appropriate
non-Apple-laserprep.  This file could then be included as is into a PCTeX
document.

Note that this method does not give the BoundingBox required for EPS; 
if one needs that, then DistillPS or one of the other methods mentioned
recently in postings should be used.

We found all of the above via anonymous ftp from the Info-Mac archives 
(sumex-aim.stanford.edu).
