Yes. We send graphic files to non-Mac users by the way of first converting
them to pdf. I am pretty sure there are more efficient ways for the
conversion. But with what I have in my disposal I print an electropherogram
as a postscript file and and then use the Acrobat Distiller to transform
the ps file to pdf. With that you should be able to print out the graphic
in an IBM system.
Hope this helps
