Well folks, I tried almost every combination to convert MacDraw picture
from MAXII with transfer2 program to no avail. Do I need a special
extension or something when I do the transfer? I am using Macview to show
the pictures on the Amiga side. Any help would be grateful.

MacView is only good to view pictures created in Mac PAINT, not Mac
Draw. Paint files are binary, similar to Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. Mac
Draw files are Encapsulated Postscript, which the Amiga is sorely lacking
in good support. ProDraw, ProPage, PageStream and the like will load and
print EPS graphics, but without the on-screen display that Mac and PC users
have come to know and love. MacDraw is similar to Adobe Illustrator,
another EPS structured graphic program. Try loading them into a DTP program
such as the ones listed above, but be prepared to stare at a large block
with no graphic in it. Otherwise you might try the EPS file via Post, which
is available here on CIS, and displaying it it onscreen.
