	I would vote for using either Postscript or CGM for schematics.
Most graphics packages now take CGM and Postscript printers are very
common.  The Mac format is rather clunky for both rendering and using
due to the translation steps.  It is also harder to revise since it
isn't object-based.  Postscript to HPGL translators have been posted to
the net so they should be available to all.
