Thanks Gary!  Yeah, the drawings are probably lisp-expressions of the form (RECTANGLE x1 y1 x2 y2) etc. and then compiled.  Looking at the .ged file, there are some keywords, such as RECTANGLE and then a bunch of non-ASCII characters.  I might be able to figure out the args and “de-compile” it … there are clues in the source code.

I’ve attached the source of the Graphic Editor system.

However, I doubt it’ll be much help as .ged files are, in fact, Genera FASL files.
