vax-to-mac graphic output

Marc,

One option is to use an old hypercard stack of mine called
HPGL2PICT, which should be available at 

  ftp://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/util/mac/hp2pict.hqx

You then set your GCG graphics output with 'setplot'
to produce an HPGL format outputfile, then move that
file to a Mac and read it in w/ hp2pict stack.  This
will draw it in PICT format, which you can copy to a
MacDraw kind of program.

A second, perhaps better option for RNA 2ndary structure
is to use one of my programs for drawing those:

  ftp://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/molbio/mac/loopviewer.hqx
  ftp://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/molbio/loopdloop/loopdloop.hqx

These will read RNA 2ndary structure files in the CT or .connect 
form use by GCG.  The second one is a more complex
2ndary structure editor, and will allow you to do MacDraw
type editing of the structure.
