Greetings.

We are in the process of documenting a number of items on the Macintosh.
However, the powers that be have decided that the documentation should be done
in Ventura on Windows.

There are a number of screen captures (color or gray scale bitmap PICT, using
FLASH-IT) I would like to transfer to Ventura, but
so far I have only been able to get MacPaint files to transfer properly.  I
have tried TIFF, PICT, and EPS, but Ventura will not accept PICT that includes 
bitmap information, and the TIFF and EPS are giving errors.

I also tried bringing the different formats into Ventura thru a second program,
such as Hijack or Corel Draw, but I was encountering the same problems.

Any ideas?  I would like a format created on the Mac that Ventura can read 
directly.  I am able at the moment to capture a PICT image, place it in a GIF
file, transfer it to Windows, and use Hijack to transfer it to PC paintbrush 
so that Ventura can read it.  However, this is a long process.

Any ideas are welcomed.  I would like to find a free or shareware solution, but
I will consider commercial products.

Regards, and thanks,
