I've never heard of O/S-specific clipart. Most of it tends to be in standard
graphic formats, such as TIF, GIF, JPG, PCX, BMP, WMF, etc. and can be used
in any application that supports that/those format(s), regardless of
platform. The rare exceptions might be clipart in an application-specific
format (for example, a propritary Word file format), but you won't likey find
a lot of those on the shelf at your local Computer City or Office Depot.
Your friend and mine,
