Does anyone have any experience with including postscript (generated from
a non-Mac) in a Mac produced document?  In particular I would like to include
some simple X-Y graphs that were produced on a Cray into a Macintosh produced
document.  I have a utility that will convert the Cray's own graphic format
into postscript.  

The best possible solution would be to somehow convert the postscript to a
PICT file so that I can cut/paste into a document.  However, it is acceptable
to allow the puiblishing program to keep the postscript in text form (but print
it as the graphic).  Anyone have any suggestions or warnings of pitfalls?

I am currently open to any solutions: commercial, public domain, shareware,
etc...  

BTW, I don't beleive the Cray to postscript conversion package does anything
fancy.  It simply draws straight lines and places text.

Thanks,
