That's what I understand from Adobe- they are sold through the usual Mac 
outlets and come as Mac format Adobe Illustrator files.  (you can get 
samples from Adobe's FaxBack at 415-968-7701, doc # 1058).

to use the patterns in Virtuoso, what i did is:
open the .ai file in Virtuoso (Collector's Ed. samples are in the
Illustrator /gallery files under patterns and arrows, and Virtuoso
reads and writes Illustrator format).
rubberband around the sample pattern you want (the medium-size
example with the repeating elements and clipping box)
ungroup multiple times
select and lock the clipping box
rubberband around again to select everything else
cut it
unlock the clipping box and select it
paste inside
copy to pasteboard
paste in in the Virtuoso tile fill inspector

this is necessary because Virtuoso fills can't have elements that 
are tiled already or are already EPS.  cutting and pasting them
between Illustrator and Virtuoso crashes Virtuoso.  and you want
to have only the repeating element parts inside the bounding box
copied to your pasteboard.  the arrows and borders can just be
dragged and dropped and sized.
