Eric,

Thanks for including that. Actually, if you open SVG in Illustrator,
you might be able to get a usable EPS out with the vectors included
as long as no funny characters (i.e., non Western-Latin) are accessed.
But once you are going that far, you might as well use either the OLE
or create EPS from Acrobat from PDF created from Visio method.
