Now that you guys have sifted through some comments, some "realistic" and
some not, is there some agreement that "editable" graphics importing is
not supported on the NeXT? I would not have posted the message had I not
already tried every conversion method and existing graphics product
available (to my knowledge). I was hoping that someone had also run into
this problem and resolved it. From the responses I'd say not.

Perhaps there is a really small community of NeXT users with a need for
editable object conversion. Hard to believe when the three products already
working on the NeXT all have some form of DRAW facility in them. Also hard
to beleive that NONE of them can read AND edit a graphic produced elsewhere.

Personally, I would prefer interested parties to send mail to the vendors
who are selling these products, and convince them this capability is needed,
even demanded. Bickering was not my intended outcome...

Apologies to deserving individuals for any misconceptions my original
aricle presented...
