      Draw the pictures on any nearby MAC using MacDraw.
      Save a postscript image of the drawing.
      Kermit the files over to my SUN
      Run macps on the files.
      Run bbfig over the files, and edit the %%BoundingBox into the .ps file
      use psfig to suck the graphics into my LaTeX doc.
do us all a favour and use Adobe Illustrator; that way you avoid 75% of
the work you are doing. An Illustrator file *is* good Encapsulated
PostScript already, so no special saving or mangling is needed
