Hi I am trying to find out if there is a program available for the Amiga that will convert between the various types of clipart formats. In particular, is there something to convert say CorelDRAW files into EPS files that would be suitable for use on an Amiga? Thanks for your help. John

If you have access to CORELDraw, just export them as Illustrator 80 files. COREL produces rather "clean" postscript conversions. I have been able to import their postscript output into PPage4.0 and FinalWriter2. If those programs will accept COREL's EPS outputs then I'm pretty sure PageStream 3.0, when shipped, will also. I don't think COREL throws in any extra postscript prolog type info that isn't postscript type 1 compatible if you choose Illustrator 80 as the export filter. COREL has several other .EPS output filters; of these, I cannot speak from experience. Good luck. BTW, I have never seen an Amiga utility to convert COREL .CDR files to .EPS or ProDraw etc. Sailing in from Yokosuka, Japan Forrest Sweasy

Forrest: Thanks for the info! Would you also know of a good source for clip-art already in the EPS format? JOhn
