EPS graphics are also cross-platform, and scale well. BMP graphics get
fuzzy when you enlarge or reduce them. Stay away from PICT when sharing
files across platforms. You'll need a Postscript printer or Postscript
interpreting software to print EPS graphics. If you do use EPS, be sure
to save them with a cross-platform preview, which you select when
exporting from your graphics application.
