This is true, but I should point out that for some time we have been
encouraging application developers to embed PostScript inside PICTs, which
are a data format almost every program understands. We put out a tech note
on how to do it (Position-Independent PostScript, #183), and some applications
already generate such pictures (Adobe Illustrator is an example). A
coworker of mine successfully used both PostScript and TIFF images in
FullWrite by putting them through Illustrator. If more apps generated
PICTs directly, the intermediate step wouldn't be necessary.
