Another way of doing this other than knowing the format of the PICT resource is to replace the QuickDraw standard routines with SetStdProcs, and then do a DrawPicture. Sounds like it would be slower than doing the whole thing yourself, but it would probably be easier and more amenable to various versions of the system software. Unfortunately, I know nothing about how regions are stored. Disclaimer: I have never written a program to do this, so I can't say firsthand how well it works.
