Hi Michael, I don't think it makes a lot of difference, although I'm prepared to be enlightened :-) Certainly something I've never come across, and we use EPS files saved as Illustrator EPS versions 8.0, 9.0, 10, and CS2. I just knocked up a quick graphic and saved it as EPS CS2 and it imports OK into Mac FrameMaker 6.0. As long as the EPS file has the following header, FrameMaker will import it. "%!PS-Adobe-3.1 EPSF-3.0" Why do we use Illustrator 8.0 files? Well, the following quick translation from "DTP & Insatsu Super Encyclopaedia 2008," a yearly Japanese DTP publication, may shed some light. "Even though several years have past since Mac OS 9 was discontinued, and Macs that run the Classic Environment are no longer on sale, many users are still using using Mac OS 9, Illustrator 8, and QuarkXPress 3.3 for DTP. The reason is that if a printer, designer, DTP operator, output bureau, printer, etc., changes their own system, they'll become incompatible with everyone else in the publishing chain. This is a big difference with Web designers who generally don't have to rely on others in their work."
