Has anyone gotten a Tektronix oscilloscope to download data to a Mac?

We have a Tek2211 - it does NOT have an IEE488 interface. We have a Mac488 
interface fro some other CROs that we have with the IEEE488 interface.

This CRO can download to a plotter - either Epson printer or HPGL.

Anyone know how to decode HPGL or Epson printer codes to get number which 
we can use in a Mac-way (i.e. in a spreadsheet or other plotting program)?

I have seen the HPGL to PICT converter, and other than the fact that we 
want the numbers more than a PICTure, I haven't found the converter to work 
in any case.

Any help, hints or ideas would be appreciated.
