For the Mac world, the best method (I believe) is to paste a object-style
graphic (from MacDraw or some other package) into a MacWrite file.  Almost
everyone has MacWrite or a compatible package, and the object-oriented
graphics lets users modify the diagram after receiving it.  MacPaint files,
being bit-mapped, offer limited resolution and require a fair amout of data.

The vehicle could be a BinHexed (7-bit ACSII) file.

I would also assume that there a lot of people like me who have a Mac (or at
least access to one through a friend) than those who have access to SPICE
capable machines.

From my .sig, I admit to some bias. :-)
