Hi all,
Sooo, I was having a rummage tru my old CD's and I found several with cliparts in CMX format...
Unable to even op en them, let alone convert them, my question is simple:
How do I convert these entire foldes from CMX to, say, PNG?
Thanks
THor

probably this helps: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...upport-193082/
yes, I know it is really old, but the idea may still work...

Not many things handle that format. The Windows shareware VaryView does, but $50 for registration seems high for a single use conversion.

In our world, I would try Inkscape or UniConverter. They convert virtually everything, and specificly mention this format. I have not tried either for CMX files, so if one lets you down keep the other in mind.

thanks both

I'll try that, in the article behind the link...Python came out, if UniConverter cannot sing for me LOL
