The actual conversion is done using a format file for pdftex,
and mptopdf.pl is a perl script that is nothing other than a
small wrapper around a pdftex command line.

In normal usage, it comes down to this:

   pdfetex &mptopdf \relax <filename>.<digits>
   rename <filename>.pdf <filename>-<digits>.pdf

Where you have give <filename> on the command-line.

If the Mac classic doesn't have pdfetex, it will not work.
Otherwise, you could ignore the perl script, and execute the
command yourself. That should work, but you have to figure
out how to execute the command on a classic (I do not know).
