No joy:
"EPS objects are supported only on Unix systems that support Display PostScript"
although I had a lot of 'fun' with the Terminal and apt-get :(
Come on David; tell us about these:
"I know of experiments importing geometry from apps like Illustrator"
because knocking together the sort of thing you want in a vector
graphics program such as Illustrator or Inkscape
http://www.inkscape.org/ [Its FREE, plug, plug!]
is rather easier than doing it by mucking around with the points
of a native graphic in RunRev.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Personally I would go for a graphic circle with graphic arrows
overlaid on it and grouped.
HOWEVER; you cannot rotate groups :(
At which point I start wondering why a vector graphic is required
when a jolly little PNG. GIF or JPG might do the trick.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Made a vector graphic of 4 arrows (this is where one has to fiddle
around with empty lines between points): overlaying a circle looks
very nice: but, as it is not a REGULAR polygon it will not work with
set the angle of grc "gAA" to 22.5
BLAST!
