[Done; thanks!] Can someone please convert a file for me?

Hi! Wow, long time since I've been here. Just checked: 3 years (almost to the day!) and I was asking for the same thing, but a different file.

A little backstory, but skip to the end if you're not interested... I started as a RISC OS Artworks user, and adored that software. I moved to Windows some time after Acorn bit the dust and found that the software had evolved into Xara, and was then a happy user of that for many years. Then I switched to Linux (where I happily remain) and was delighted when Xara LX arrived. I used that as long as I could bear it -- it was very, very buggy and very infrequently updated. Perhaps you guys know more than I, but I got the impression volunteer developers couldn't sink their teeth into it due to a lack of code documentation, or maybe spaghetti code, or some other issue with the source base. Eventually when I couldn't take it any more I moved to Inkscape. I still miss certain features and the incredible raw speed of Xara, but I do love the interoperability of working natively with SVG. Anyway, the current fact is that I can't open my old Xara files, and today I find I need one.

Can someone please open this file and export it as SVG (preferably) or EPS? PDF would be okay too -- as long as vectors come out which I can read I'm happy. It would be very, very helpful. On attaching this it looks like it's almost 3M. I'm not sure how what I thought was just the outline of a dragon could add up to that much, so maybe there's a reference image embedded or something like that. It's only the dragon I really need, though I'd be interested to know what else is in there. Maybe there were multiple revisions of the dragon.

Thanks so much.

For whatever reason, the vector dragon took on the fill from the background.

I didn't bother converting the whole. There is some text and bitmap.

That's perfect; thanks so much!

Ah, it was for an album cover; I guess I added a texture so I could composite it on to the other art in the way I wanted more easily.
