It supports many other formats (IFF, many Faxes, Dr. Halo, GIF, EPS, GEM Paint, PIC, MS Paint, Mac, PCX, TIF, WPG to name a few). It works fairly well. I believe there's a new version 2 out now that also supports AutoCAD and CGM. It seems to work pretty well. It won't convert from vector to raster or vice versa (something along those lines anyway). It's certainly been worth it for me. -- Marshall L.
