Jeff: ProDraw for Windows can't read ProDraw for Amiga clips as far as I know. John: if GD had just had the common sense to release the ProDraw file format, everybody on the Amiga would have used it. When we parsed it, we realized it was better than DR2D, which was pretty lame. We tried to extend DR2D so that we could use it for PageStream3, but basically we'd have had to shoehorn an entire new format into the DR2D shell and ignore what was already there. Thus we came up with IFF ILUS, which is part of our IFF DOC format. We will be using the same IFF DOC format for the Mac and Windows versions of PageStream, by the way. IFF DOC and ILUS are available to developers such as yourself on request BTW. Cheers, Michael @ Soft-Logik Publishing
