The tool "ill2svg.pl"
---------------------

  The original sodipodi package contained a perl script, which can convert files
  in Adobe Illustrator format to SVG format. The command must be called like
  this:

  perl Cygnix:CygnixPPC/bin/ill2svg.pl >example.svg example.ai

  The script works, but mostly not without errors. To complete the package, this
  command was included.


Important
---------

  When a picture can be displayed in the file requesters preview, it does not
  mean, that you can load it into Sodipodi. The requester, which is part of the
  GTK-2 library, uses different code than Sodipodi itself.


Installation
------------

  The X11 environment AmiCygnix version 1.0 (or higher) must be installed
  before! AmiCygnix is available on OS4-depot (http://os4depot.net).

  To install the package, just click on the install icon. The data will be
  installed into the AmiCygnix package. Afterwards you can find the programs in
  "Cygnix:Software/Sodipodi-0.34". To launch the program doubleclick on
  "Start_sodipodi.bat".
