In 1993, I wrote an AWK script that extracted EPS graphics from 
FrameMaker files and spat them out one-by-one. That was on a NeXT 
station.

You may be able to do something similar for embedded PCX files, 
although FrameMaker may have converted them to FrameImage format.

Save your file as MIF and have a poke around.
