I think that the MACPAINT format is fine for showing layout and other graphic
stuff, but that the poster might also include a SPICE format file or something
similar to help us folks who don't have direct access to a MAC.  There need
be no ambiguity on subcircuits - if you say "X741 ..." I can assume that you
mean a 741 op-amp and that the pins are listed in order etc.
    What exactly is the BIN-HEX format?  It looks like it uses 8 6-bit chars
to represent 6 8-bit bytes, and says that an "!" is a zero.  Once I have a
binary file, is there any other decompression to do?  Help!
