We are currently working on Mac OS 8/9
support for a customer - just as it goes out
of fashion :-)  This will involve compiled binaries
for MacOS 9 and X starting to appear on our site
over the next couple of months.  

One thing we'd like is to be able to write out
bitmaps from reportlab/graphics as Mac PICT format.
I don't mean vector PICT files, just drawing a
pixel buffer into PICT format.  Ideally this would
be done in a cross platform way writing the file
format, not using Quickdraw.  Does anyone have
any code to do this?

In a similar vein, how about Windows Metafiles?
Less urgent but a good challenge and of great use
if anyone needs a hobby project :-)
