I'm sorry to bother you excellent netlanders but:
I just got a letter from my brother-in-law in Europe. He asks me if
I can send him what he calls "Clip-files". He is a cartographer,
uses Free Hand 2.02 on a Mac II CI to do his maps. He figured "Clips"
might spice up his maps and graphs.
I'm not a Mac user so I'm kind of out of it. I dare not refuse his
request since he might molest my sister (just kidding). So I have to
ask:
1) What are "Clips"?
2) Where do you go for respectable "Clips", public domain or dealers?
3) Can anyone recommend Clip-art libraries to me that I can buy, borrow
or steal? (No, not steal). Preferrably recommendations from someone
who is doing business graphics and demographic charts.
A million thanks beforehand to whoever responds.

Those Europeans hate to use Ameri-talk. 2) & 3) There is a ton of clip art in the public domain and from dealers. Try Budget-Bytes or EduCrop for Pay-For-Freeware stuff (i.e. they charge $5 a disk or so for copies of freeware/shareware. Try the Sumex archives - they are free but you can't see before you get them. Commercial sources - Look through a MacWarehouse or MacConnection catalog and you will see many packages for sale. My favorites are the CD-ROM variety as they tend to be cheaper per clip and a bit easier to access than a slew of floppies. Then again you will need a CD-ROM player.....

In my MacWarehouse catalog, I see "ArtClips", which is a four-disk collection of EPS art. Maybe that is what is being referred to as "Clips"? There is also an EPS clip-art package called "Cliptures" which might be what was referred to. -- Wayne Folta (folta@cs.umd.edu 128.8.128.8)
