Client wants to edit files?

Hi There Design and graphics forum

I have been asked to supply a logo for a client and they want a file format they can use to be able to resize it and recolor it themselves. I work in Illustrator on a mac and they use office on win xp etc. The file itself is only paths and solid colors so I was wondering if anyone has any tips for giving over the file but making it editable for size and colour but remaining vector for clarity. I don't think the client would be willing to splash out on illustrator (and this would put me out of work!) but the basics are ok to edit?

Thanks in advance for any ideas

oh

Thanks for your replies everyone.

I liked the idea of doing a font but some of the designs involve both black and a spot color! don't seem to be able to make multicolor fonts. I tried the demo of sigmaker but no matter what type of file I fed it (eps pdf or png) it did not seem to trace well (logo is quite complex in terms of curves) and there were errors, also the final output test ttf did not seem to even have a glyph in it!

I may either convince the client they need to purchase some Software for edits
or just let me worry about changes etc.

as I was writing this they sent me a powerpoint file of nearly 50 versions of the logo they have submitted for trademark! I Usually supply 5 different file formats of anything I do, looks like it's gonna be a file nightmare.
