If you add the command line option "-fig=any_filename" to any GCG
graphics program, the output will be a text file used as input by the
Figure program.
This text file can be converted to Mac pict file by a GCG utility
(download from alanin.gcg.com by ftp) called GCGtoFigure. I have often
used it with no problem.
