-
- As the name states this module will import Adobe Illustrator files as structured
- drawings that can be edited. The module was written to handle the Adobe
- Illustrator 1.1 file commands, although it will work with Adobe Illustrator 88
- files also (most of them anyway).
-
- The Adobe Illustrator files can be in ascii format, IBM EPS format, or Mac
- binary (with a Mac file header on it).
-
- Line color is supported by adding the color to documents pallete with a name
- like 'Adobe00000000', where the 00's represent the CMYK values (0-255) in the
- color. Gray line colors (as specified by the G operator) are added as
- percentages of black with 0% cyan, magenta, and yellow.
-
- A gray scale fill color is supported by specifying a percentage of black
- (20% black) and will not add the fill color. If the fill color is not a gray
- scale color then the color will be added the the color palette
-
- Text is ignored.
-
- As usual, if you find any files that will not come in properly please upload
- them to the Soft-Logik BBS or mail them to us on a disk so we can figure out
- why they fail to load and fix the module if neccessary. Thank you.
-
- With version 2.0 of the OS the "version" command has gained some new talents.
- Whereas it used to only work on libraries, it now works on any file. It will
- look for a "version string" inside a file and print it out to the CLI if it
- finds it. A "version string" has been added to many of the new import modules.
- This makes it very easy to find out what version of the import module you have.
- From a CLI just type "version <module name>" and press return. You no longer
- have to load up PageStream and look at the import requester for the version
- number.
-
- As with all the modules, if you come across some pictures that will not load
- or crash when importing, please upload them to our BBS or mail them to us on
- a floppy disk with an explaination of the problem. We will try them and fix
- the import module if appropriate.
-
- Thank you,
