Speaking of SuperPaint, has anyone ever found a tool that will  
convert the vectors in a SuperPaint file? SuperPaint's file format  
was PICT, but the only aspect of their PICT that other programs would  
read was the rasterized bitmap. Graphic Converter reports that the  
vector data is there, but I haven't yet found a format to convert to  
that preserves it. Though they said it was possible to export  
Postscript from SuperPaint, it always crashed for me.

When the first pre-release beta of Fireworks was available, I LEAPT  
upon it! Photoshop may now have some credibility for creating  
interface graphics, but Fireworks rules!
