    Our engineering office has two primary drawing tools.  AutoCAD, used 
by a few CAD-intensive AT-class workstations, and MacDraw, which most 
do-it-yourselfers have found access to.  Most "management" workstations here
are Macintoshes.
    Our presentation capabilities have evolved around our AT computers 
(AutoCAD drawing --> screen image capture --> PC-driven "slide show" -->
large screen projectors) using EGA video format.
    Since our world is coming to include more and more Macintoshes, an 
interface to our PC-hosted presentation world is required.  I need to 
convert drawings and pictures from the Macintosh to EGA.  This seems to 
be two separate problems:

	1) Convert MacDraw Postscript-formatted files from the Macintosh 
	   to AutoCAD on the IBM PC.

	2) Convert MacPaint pictures to EGA format displayable via one
	   of the popular PC paint programs (such as EGA Paint).

    I would greatly appreciate any information concerning either of these 
conversions from Macintosh to PC.
