	I've been using Canvas to convert TIFF files (scanned images)
into PICT files (bitmaps). I then open the PICT file version and
capture the PostScript eqivalent (Cmd-F). This PostScript version of
the image can then be included in a LaTeX document using Trevor
Darrell's \psfig macros. I would guess your FullPaint/MacPaint images
would also work if you saved them as PICT files.
