I'm sorry to litter the newsgroup with yet another request for software.
I suppose I've no excuse, but I think an affirmative response would be of
general interest to Unix/Mac users.

If it's not clear from the subject line, what I'm requesting (begging :-)
is C source for a set of routines which supply the Unix plot library
functions (line, move, cont, arc, etc.) but which write the result in
a PICT format file.

I checked the FAQ posting; it says:

>Except in extremely restricted cases, it is simply not possible to do
>a one-to-one conversion between vector formats.

I'm just hoping that this is one of those restricted cases.

Many thanks,

David
