Draw2EPS
This is a 32 bit build with a couple of amendments I made in February 2006 to enable me to use this very simple command line application for converting Draw files into EPS files. I obtained version 0.00 from http://www.see.ed.ac.uk/~pmh/ART/Draw.html. It was the only way I could convert RISC OS vector artwork for a sign company, who then use a vinyl cutter to produce signs from the EPS file. I have to convert any fonts to paths first, of course. Don't forget to set the filetype of the resultant file to 'PoScript' (hex FF5). It can then be previewed in !GView, for example.
I would also recommend use of the front end !D2EPS by I Logan, in May 2006 available from http://homepages.enterprise.net/iainlogan/, which works with the binary in the below version, will allow you to avoid using the command line, and also filetypes the output automatically.
