I agree that Claris should publish their file format WIDELY.  Right now I
don't know of any program that can handle MacDraw II files.  In one painful
example, I spent a long time drawing a logo for a business in MacDraw II for
their letterhead.  Then I found out that I couldn't import the logo into any
word processing program or desktop publishing program without the graphic
screwing-up.  I had to redo the logo in MacDraw (which didn't look as nice).
Better yet, Claris should allow files to be exported to some file format
standard like PICT2 or EPSF.

(I hope this makes it to netland.  Somebody send me something if it does.)
