I had to deal with a similar problem a couple of years ago when I was
working for a large insurance company. My department used Macs and another
used Windows. We used PowerPoint as a go between. If I remember correctly,
we saved the files as PICT and imported them into PowerPoint. PowerPoint
actually converted the files into their components
(circles/rectangles/diamonds/text/lines etc...). It required a fair amount
of clean up, but it was nice that the flowcharts could then be edited. Of
course PowerPoint is not a flowchart editor, and doesn't have many of those
features (although it seems it would be a wise thing to build into a
presentation program) its rudimentary drawing tools worked well enough for
editing charts once they were brought it.
