OK... here's my 2 cents worth....

I think Max's suggestion of a non-graphical format may be the most
practical so far;  it sems there are just too many different formats
around to cover a majority of classes of machines.

But... of all the microcomputer-based CAD packages I have ever used,
the most popular configuration seems to be support for an Epson printer.

What about posting a bit-graphics file that can be printed out on any
Epson-compatible printer, even though it can't be displayed on the screen?
Even most of the laser printers around support some form of Epson
emulation in addition to their native mode.

It might take 2-3 minutes to print out, but it sure beats writing a
MacPaint (or whatever)-to-<insert favorite machine here> convert program!
