Actually, metafile is standard on Windows and is pretty much the same thing 
as "PICT" format on Macs. It's a list of the graphics operations/calls it 
takes to produce something, so it's basically postscript-like - a list of 
resolution-independent instructions.  Without being a full-blown language.

You can get a metafile out of any program by printing. That's what the "save 
to file" on the print dialog means.
