First, my apologies of writing in english, but my german is almost
nonexistent...

Has anyone over there ever done any conversions between Atari specific
vector graphic/document formats (like GEM, CVG, CDK etc) and "general"
vector graphic formats like PS? No use to ask if it is possible,
anything can be programmed, but has someone already done something
that helps in this problem?

So far the best result (but not good) I have achieved was done like
this:
Calamus print to file, load this file to IMAGE.PRG, convert it to
normal GEM Image, then convert the result with PBMPlus to a format
suitable for Mac, re-vectorizing (rendering?) it with Adobe
Streamline and save to PostScript. Useable, but can't be scaled too
much...

Any hints or tips?
