There is an old ISO standard for a graphics metafile called CGM,
computer graphics metafile. It can contain both vector and raster
graphics. The IDL interface is set_plot, "cgm" and you should
follow it by calling device with those keywords you need for that
application.

At least vector gaphics - that's what I use - are supported by
Word and many other programs. I'm not so familiar with the Unix
world so it depends on the programs you use there.
