ADPro will convert to PICT files, I think. If it doesn't then the loader/saver
is on the Pro extensions disk you can get from ASDG, which will also give you
several other formats. If you need to do multiple frames, I have a batch Arexx
program to do multiple frame conversions. Email me and I'll send it you.
I suppose the reason Avid chose to go with the PICT format is because it is a
robust and compact format for grafx files..
