They *will* work on the NeXT, but you will have to do some renaming...

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.

Hi All,
	Why dont we have a NetLand NeXT Product of the year
award/poll?

We can have hardware, software, graphics--maybe different catagories?

I just want a chance to say that I LOVE Virtuoso and it gets my
overall product of the year award thumbs up!!!  It is the best
illustration program I've used on any platform period-end of story-no
questions-hands down!!!!!!!!!  And thats just from the demo!  Now I
have to save up a few more bux to clunk down the 300 bux edu price,
but its so go its worth it!  Well enough ranting by me.  Whats
everyone think of the Net Land Best Product of the Year Award?  Then
the winners can proudly display that they one on there
software/hardware and adds.  I would be willing to do all of the
polling, but if some one else wants to I have no problems.

Now All we have to do is think up the catagories and a name for the
award.

POLYA (Product of Last Year Award?)  Lame?  just a thought.

Catagories?

Software:
	Illustration
	Painting
	DTP
	DataBase
	SpreadSheet
	Communication
	MultiMedia
	3D
	WordProcessing
	Audio
	Game
	Developer
	Utility

Hardware:
	Graphic
	Video
	Storage
	Printer
	Communication
	Display

????  Anyway.  Those are just some "I'm on break--off from school
until jan 20--got nothn better to do" thoughts.

What do you all think?

later, John
