I've been saving my MacSE and MacDraw for just this moment!

MacDraw used Quickdraw for the screen, and PS for the printer. You
could paste bitmaps, but not edit them.

Would be fun to open one of the files and see what is possible. Here
is MacDraw Pro. It will save PICT and PICT2 files. I can copy and
paste shapes, rotated text, etc. to Photoshop on Mac. Not bad, but
there are serious jaggies. Save to PDF on Mac. Send files to PC.
Rasterize the PDF into Photoshop at 300 dpi, and anit-alias. Sweet.
