Is there any application (commercial or not) for any common 
computer (Unix, Mac, PC) that will allow object oriented editing
of graphics in an eps format file?

Or, is there any way to get an object oriented file ( like an 
_object_ (as opposed to a bitmap) PICT on a Mac) from an eps file?

Adobe?

Island Draw (on unix boxes, either Motif or OpenLook) can import
Postscript and give you an editable structured object. From any old
postscript, it would seem. It read in stuff from Corel, OK that could
be easy with all those %Object comments. But it read in some hand
coded stuff I wrote and you could edit it with the mouse. Wierd. I was
impressed.
