I don't think the format is public. Soft-Logik had to reverse-engineer
to format for their PDraw import module for PageStream 2.1.
Apparently, Gold Disk wants to keep this fomat a secret.

The IFF format is called DR2D and is currently supported only
by ProVector (Taliesin Inc.) and PageStream 2.1 (Soft-Logik Co.).
Documentation about DR2D should be available from CATS.
