Thanks - I'll try it out. Does it do a 'proper' conversion though? I
have PICTuresque which supposedly converts EPS to PICT but what it
actually does is throw out the EPS code and just leave you with the 72
dpi pict screen rendering of the EPS file - not really very useful as
you loose all the detail of the original EPS file.
