  12. In article <92308.210622SCB107@psuvm.psu.edu>, <SCB107@psuvm.psu.edu>
  13. wrote asking if ConvertIt would get his Mac stacks into ToolBook.
  14.  
  15. Well, SCB, I had mixed results going from HC to TB using Convert-It.
  16. It did a fine job with the physical layout, especially graphics, but
  17. didn't make any attempt at translating the scripts.  It just commented
  18. the HC scripts and left them for me to discover.
  19.  
  20. Where Convert-It worked beautifully was in getting bit-mapped graphics
  21. into ToolBook, which uses object-based graphics.  I haven't found any
  22. other way of getting bitmaps into ToolBook, but then our suite of
  23. PC-based graphics tools is fairly limited here.
