.ART files are postscript/vector based files from Adobe Illustrator and
won't be readable from Graphic Convertor unless they are .EPS
(Illustrator uses .art as an extension but quite often the thing gets
re-saved as an EPS file and people forget to change the extension). If
it is EPS I think you need to get some extra plug-in for Graphic
Convertor called EPStoPICT from http://members.aol.com/artage. I can
convert it for you if you desperately need it and it's not
private/confidential stuff.
