[comp.sys.mac] Looking for Macintosh like PC software

car@trux.UUCP (Chris Rende) (03/28/90)

Are there any good PC programs that are comparable to Macintosh's MacPaint,
MacDraw, and MacWrite?

I'd like to have the ability to draw and manipulate graphics in a simular
manner as MacPaint and MacDraw. I also would like to have a word processor
that supports many fonts like MacWrite does. The word processor should use
graphics mode on the screen to display the text and NOT the standard text
mode. (After all, Hercules has higher resolution than the Mac :-).

I have an XT with hercules graphics and an EPSON RX-80 printer.
(I'd buy a mouse of course).

Please Email all suggestions, pointers, advise, prices, etc... to me and I'll
post a summary.

[ Disclaimer: I have no intention of starting a PC vs. Mac war ]

Thanks,

car.
