I guess there is some ShareWare program called Iconvert which can convert between different file formats. My questions: 1) Where can I get information on some file formats? a) .pic, .gif, .autocad, etc. 2) Is there a Public Domain or ShareWare program that will print these files to numerous output devices? a) HP LJ II, Epson, plotters Any help will be GREATLY appreciated, and I will post a summary if enough interest. Thanks! Jim Bittman, whuts!jmbj
