The hpcgm starbase device driver seems to be what you're after. According
to volume 1 of _Starbase Device Drivers Library Manual_ under HPCGM:

"This device driver produces ANSI/ISO standard Computer Graphics Metafile
(CGM). The CGM is a metafile for capturing and storing device independent
picture descriptions. It may contain multiple pictures.
.
.
.
The hpcgm device driver supports the following three encoding methods
(see also "Parameters for gescape," CGMESC_ENCODING later in this driver).

        o The Binary encoding is reasonably compact and is optimized for
          CPU efficiency ...."

Hope this helps.
