    Please, I need some help.  I've got a file on Versacad 5.4 for 
the IBM PC that I wish to include in a paper on my Macintosh SE.  
(The paper is in Microsoft Word 4.0 format.)  I thought I would 
save it as postscript (text) from VersaCAD and import it to the Mac.  
However, I cannot find a program that will import postscript text 
(not encapsulated postscript).

1. Is there a program that will import the file as postscript text?
2. I think you can include postscript in Word 4 documents.  How
do you do it?  Will it create the drawing from text postscript?
3. Is there another format from VersaCAD 5.4 on the PC that
I could send to the Mac?

     At Kinkos and in the lab, I have access to:
PageMaker 3.0, CricketDraw, Adobe Illustrator 88, Aldus Freehand 1.0
Superpaint, CricketGraph, Ready Set Go 4.5, MS Works 2.0, MacWrite II,
MacDraw I and II, others?

     Please note that I don't have access to manuals at the lab and
I don't think Kinkos offers them either.
Thanks 1E+6 to the network for providing a forum for questions!
