- Fine. You get me detailed specifications and source code for these
- formats and I will write the converter. DR2D isn't very robust,
- and I don't even have code for a rendering engine ... but it would
- be trivial to convert some of the simpler formats like Microsoft
- WMF, and Illustrator EPS files to DR2D and vice versa.
-
- All I need is the specification for each of these formats, and (not
- necessary but would certainly be helpful) example source for a
- rendering engine.
-
- I'm thinking along the lines of a modular shareware product.
-
- You (the Internet Amiga community) find me the specifications for
- all these formats, and I'll work on a converter. Deal?
