Does anybody have a complete list of what platforms Adobe Illustrator will run on? I know it runs on Macs and PCs, I have heard rumours that a NeXT version is under development, but what I really need is a Sun compatible version. Since there are Suns at Adobe, might an internal version already exist? Currently we are producing Illustrator compatible PostScript with applications running on our Suns, transferring these to a lone Mac II, and editing the images using Illustrator. It would really be useful to us to have this tool available in all of our computers. Is there a logical person to contact at Adobe to enquire about such matters?

I would love to have this product for the PC environment as it seems to do exactly what I need to do. Have nice Bezier curves etc. Since I don't have colour I do lose some of the benefit, but I have some diagrams that I need to draw so that our visual designers can actually draw the damn things right without me having to stand over their shoulders. When you have an article that needs some fancy three-d pictographs it would be nice to have a tool that did it for you. None of my paint/draw/CAD packages can get me what I want but Illustrator sure seemed like it could. Just exactly how much is Illustrator for a PC?

Illustrator for the PC is about $800 here in Canada and requires more than 640K memory. This makes it real expensive for most people who haven't hocked the car for RAM chips yet. Corel Draw for the PC is a similar product that is REAL slick. If you like Illustrator then you will love Corel Draw!! Corel is $595 here in Canada. It is also a Canadian product from Corel Systems in Ottawa (613) 728-8200 Unleash your PC!! Put those Mac zealots to shame! tj .
