Drawover was mentioned as an Adobe Illustrator 88 utility which converts PICT->EPSF. We tried v1.0. It worked fine with PICT from MacDraw 1.9 but had problems with PICT from MacDraw II. Anybody know if there is a later version of DrawOver and whether it will work with MacDraw II PICT (and PICT2)? Alternatively, and I know it has been asked before, what other PICT->EPSF conversion utilities around are there? I remember (but didnt save) an article about a library of format conversion routines being posted which may have included PICT->EPSF. Someone got a copy of the article they could send me? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Geoff Leach, Department of Computer Science, ACSNET: gl@goanna.oz Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, JANET: gl%goanna.oz.au@uk.ac.ukc GPO BOX 2476 V, ARPA: gl%goanna.oz.au@uunet.uu.net Melbourne, 3001, CSNET: gl%goanna.oz.au@australia AUSTRALIA UUCP: ...!uunet!goanna.oz.au!gl Phone: +61 3 660 3207 BITNET: gl%goanna.oz.au@relay.cs.net Fax : +61 3 663 2764 EARN: gl%goanna.oz.au@uk.ac.rl.earn

I remember Xris-Xros TM from Taylored Graphics takes your output from the Command-F trick, the PostScript file that the Mac would send to the LaserWriter, and converts it to Illustrator 1.1 format. According to the manual, it doesn't convert bitmaps, smoothed polygons, or arcs drawn with arc tools, and it converts all fonts except the "standard 35" to Courier. I haven't yet had a chance to fully explore the program yet, but it seems to work as advertised. It's available for US$69.95 from Taylored Graphics, PO Box 1900, Freedom, CA 95019-1900; the phone number is (408) 761-2481. -- Ralph Brandi ralph@lzfme.att.com att!lzfme!ralph Work flows toward the competent until they are submerged.
