Hi Steve,

For the opening of AI-EPS files from MoI, I'm using Xara Xtreme & it works just fine.

Sometimes they have specials on the older versions to get you on board.
I originally bought V2 for the princely sum of $15...and used it just for opening AI-EPS files.
I've upgraded since & now have their latest version.

HTH, Colin

I've only just downloaded v3. Have yet to fire it up. Will take aloof thanks. :)

Hi Steve,

i you install Uniconvertor on your machine (which i just did under OSX) you should have an additional entry in the Inkscape Open File dialog, under "Open With" Illustrator 8 or older...

I'll give it a shot, I would prefer a OSX solution.. save having to run a VM :)

Hi, You can always try with Expression 3, it's free and there's a Mac version

Hi Steve,

what i posted was actually an OSX solution, as you can see in my screen shot and the provided links...or do you mean you would like to have a pure OSX Inkscape vers., without X11? usage?

@Marc: The Software won't start under OSX (Snow Leopard) even i have put in in the Application folder, any ideas?

Stefan

Hi Stefan, I work with windows 7 so not I'm much help.
Maybe apple doesn't support applications written for an older version of the OS, this would be sad.

It's probably old enough that it's a PowerPC app and not an Intel one, and yes Apple dropped support for running PowerPC apps on current versions of OSX.

It used to be that Macs used a totally different kind of CPU than the Intel chips. Apple had a translation/emulation layer called 'Rosetta' that would enable them to run but that's been dropped as of OSX 10.7 I think.
