Ventura converts the orginal MacDraw PICT format to GEM .IMG format
(used by GemDraw). Some detail can get lost in the translation,
because GemDraw doesn't support everything available in MacDraw
(e.g., fonts & fill patterns.) Ventura cannot import/convert MacDraw
II PICT format, as far as I know.  I believe there are PC graphics
translations programs that can convert MacDraw II PICT files
(perhaps HiJaak?), but I don't know for sure.
