apparently eazydraw can open McDrawPro documents, their demoware
version will allow saving of up to 20 documents so if that's within
your requirements you maybe able to getaway with just that otherwise
they have a $20 (USD) 9 month license which seems reasonable even for
such a "basic" program:

I have a number of archived documents from more than ten years ago,
created with McDrawPro. File Buddy shows they all have creator and
type dDoc and dPro though some of them show up with a Graphic
Converter icon and some with the grey Unix Executable file icon.
While I have an old copy of McDrawPro I am now in a strictly
non-classic environment and I am unable to open any of these oldies
with Photoshop, Graphic Converter, Preview or MacDraft.
The clumsy option is to reinstall classic and MacDrawPro on my G5 or
my wifes G3 and open and save the files in.pict format which I think
MacDraft or Graphic Converter can handle. That way I can retrieve
the documents.
There must be a better way, can any one please advise?
