Vector illustrations in Revolution

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Me too, Stephen; maybe even a year or so earlier; but I keep an OS 9  
version around since it exports in a lot of formats that MD seems to  
have dumped with their OSX version; however, they are all - as you  
said  - bitmapped rather than vector, though the MD drawings  
themselves are vector. I rarely use the OSX version because of its  
transparency.
