Since it
is vector, the file size should not grow proportionally.
For a spot of Friday afternoon FM trivia, NeXT FrameMaker can import
native AI files.
"Modern" apps such as InDesign and Apple's Pages use the actual vector
data in imported EPS files for display, so graphics look beautiful
onscreen.
I was going to add that Mac OS X's Quartz text smoothing makes Windows
ClearType technology look like I've put my Dad's glasses on by mistake,
but I won't. But then, Adobe's "major" apps use Adobe's CoolType, which
gets around the issue for those serious about type.
