   MACDraw and MACPaint are NOT the same thing!   MACPaint is a color
bitmapped graphics format, like standard IFF.  MACDraw is a structured
graphics format like IFF DR2D and the Pro Draw format.  I have the
converter to convert MACPaint files to IFF ILBM, but that does not do
me any good at all for MACDraw files.

   Again, I am looking for a converter to convert MACDraw files to IFF DR2D.
MACView is NOT what I am looking for, as that merely converts MACPaint
files to ~rIFF ILBM, which isn't at all what I am looking for.
