At the request of some netlanders I am giving here the summery of the
answers I received as the response to my quary about how to get imagen
output from a macpaint document. The following mathod I have tried and
worked perfectly.
	a) First of all have a file macimp.c, which does the job. I can
post the file later but I suppose many of you have it. (I got it from
oddjob!sean here at U of Chicago ).
	b)log into vax with MacTerminal. Then use macget program to get
the macpaint document to the vax. Just say "macget file.mp". After the
command, choose "send file" from the file menu. If everything is OK, a
scale will appear to show how much of your *.mp file is being transfered.
For each file.mp you will notice that three files named file.data, file.rsrc
and file.info will be created in vax. Then use the compiled file macimp.c
to get the imagen output. The command is: macimp < file.data | ipr .
You can choose MAG_POWER 
any of 0, 1 or 2 to specify magnification of the imagen output.
But, however, I found 1 or 2 gave the same output : about half the original
macpaint document. For MAG_POWER=0, the size became about one quarter
of the original size. The output is not a hell lot but much better than
the macpaint output.  
         I thank Sean Casey for helping me out.
