Have you been able to get powerpoint (or any MS-Office 4.x app) to import
CGM files containing raster components? The .flt just produces errors
when I try. Works fine for vectors, though.

Surely framemaker provides support for importing cgm files. I have found
the IDL support for cgm to be extremely useful for importing into
Microsoft Powerpoint. When converted to a Powerpoint object IDL plots
can be manipulated in the same way as the above author claims plots can be in Framemaker.

The shell archive seems to be missing export.h that is referenced
in mif.c.
