Hi all.  I am getting more and more confused as the days (weeks months
etc) go on.

I am using Adobe Illustrator to do some artwork.  AI will allow me to
save files in regular postcript format which they call <filename.ai>,
in encapsulated postscript <*.eps> and adobe binary.  All fine and
good.  I can take this artwork and print it directly (*.ai) except for
the ^D at the strat of the file which I have to manually delete, and I
can incorporate the *.eps files into other programs to print it as a
piece of art in another document.  What then can't I do you might
ask!!!????

I can't get AI to recognize any postscript or encapsulated postscript
that is generated by any other program that I have such as:

Lotus Freelance
Lotus GraphWriter
Lotus Manuscript
Hijaak
Ventura
etc

I am getting frustrated.  I have a lot of artwork done in other
programs that I need to clean up but can't get them into AI.  Does
someone have a solution that doesn't cost a lot of money (e.g. go out
and buy Corel Draw or Micrographix Designer)..

Anyone form Adobe want to send me e-mail.

BTW, is AI going to be upgraded soon.  I'm still using thesame version
that I purchased two years ago --- have I just missed the upgrades????
