You don't want it.  The format is tightly bound to the internal representation
of the various MacDraw objects -- not a pretty sight.

What you DO want is the Claris XTND documentation, which IS a standard
interchange format that all Claris products support.  As you might expect,
the graphical format handles MacDraw pretty well.

Contact Claris for info.
