Funny, it's not a standard on my PC, and I doubt it'll be one soon on the
Macintosh.. :-)

If you look in the X11R2 distribution, I'm fairly sure there's a program
called Xmac (written by naughton@sun.soe.clarkson.edu, Patrick Naughton)
which displays MacPaint pictures under X and can also convert them to
PostScript..

I'd suggest using MacPaint format (uuencoded).  Programs to uudecode 
exist on just about every system I've ever seen (and are easy to write),
and programs to display and/or convert MacPaint images are almost as
widespread.
