well, Illustrator doesn't recognize PICTs as anything. Illustrator will let
you use PAINT files as templates, but that doesn't sound like what you want.
the best thing to do is to open the SuperPaint file in Adobe Photoshop and
save that as a .EPS file. you should be able to upload that to your NeXT
quite easily.

the only other solution i can think of is to save the PICT file as a PAINT
file and then trace the object in Illustrator and save that image as an
Illustrator .EPSF file.

or keep the file as a PICT and using Adobe Streamline, autotrace it and
save that as a .EPSF?

hope this helps...
