If you can convert the PICT to a TIFF image on the Mac (there are
conversion programs available, but I don't know what they are), then
you could bring it in as a template in NeXT Illustrator and do the
conversion there--as soon as Adobe ships NeXT Illustrator, of course,
which shouldn't be too long from now, methinks.
