Right now I don't know of any program that can handle MacDraw II files. In one painful example, I spent a long time drawing a logo for a business in MacDraw II for their letterhead. Then I found out that I couldn't import the logo into any word processing program or desktop publishing program without the graphic screwing-up. I had to redo the logo in MacDraw (which didn't look as nice). Better yet, Claris should allow files to be exported to some file format standard like PICT2 or EPSF. (I hope this makes it to netland. Somebody send me something if it does.) +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Michael Wang | Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ARPAnet, CSNET, BITNET, Internet : mouser@portia.stanford.edu | | UUCP: ...decwrl!portia.stanford.edu!mouser | | AppleLink: ST0064 | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
