- OPTIKS can either read or write the files Listed as YES, Optiks
- makes a good attempt at reading the files marked as SOME. Some
- files marked YES can only be written or read. Library type files
- and Vector graphics files are not supported by OPTIKS and will
- probably never be supported. The exceptions are Lotus PIC, AutoCad
- SLD and a very few EPS files. Combination of Raster and Vector
- May be supported but for write only and then only Raster.
