When I want code that works on either Windows or *N*X, I usually use
Portable Network Graphics (png) files. Do a "help (png)" for the details.
"png" files can be imported into Word documents and displayed with most
browsers. Dealing with PostScript is a pain on Windows, "gifs" have
intellectual property issues as Dr. Ripley noted, and "bmp" files are
*huge*. "wmf" files work great on Windows; if I don't need portability,
that's what I use on Windows R. But *N*X R doesn't make "wmf" files yet.
