Yeah, I am unclear about the why the Xara EPS format exists, much less its uses.

But this isn't a golf match play tournament, no point to concede. I hope I made it clear above my view of EPS format.

The AI/EPS format Xara produces is really an AI file, version 8. I would like the AI export boosted up to match the supposed level of its import, which I believe is suppose to import a CS2 version. But Xara really doesn't import a CS2 level file, it extracts the PDF data. So all Xara is doing is extracting the PDF version from the CS2 file, not the private data portion (the actual AI format).

Anyway, all we all were doing was to aid someone who was hoping to rub two nickels together at the end of designing something. To that end, we hopefully (and apparently) did so. All else was education.

Take care, Mike
