Why convert the drawing to troff or pic input?  We use devps to convert
troff output to PostScript for printing on either a LaserWriter or Linotronic
and it allows you to include PostScript generated elsewhere into the output.
We teach classes (as well as sell devps :-) ) and I use our Atari and
Publishing Partner to create graphics for the class manuals and then include
them in the troff'ed body text.  It works just fine.
