When importing a file from an older version of AI into a newer version, the
layers collect information into what are called "compound paths". This
messes up what has been outlined somehow.

BTW, while it's a fact that the Mac Adobe Illustrator screwed up, it might
be the Adobe Illustrator and not the Mac that screwed up - which I can't
test and which wasn't tested - since we don't have a newer version of Adobe
Illustrator on Windows to test that out with.

So all I can state is the facts as they are presented to me.

I was hoping (beyond hope, as it turns out) that someone would be
technically competetent on this newsgroup - but there's zero chance of that
(which is why this thread was filled to the brim with Apple Apologists
bull****).

I've posted the same information to the adult newsgroup, where I expect a
solution or at least a technically competent explanation soon.

Thanks!
