I want an object based drawing program for my Windows/286. Something like MacDraw or Adobe Illustrator would be nice. I have seen a reference to Micrografix Designer for Windows but it cost ~$300! Does anyone have experience with Micrografix Designer or Windows Draw? Do you know where I can get it cheap? Are there any other object based drawing programs for windows? Should I just buy a Mac?

There is a shareware program called XVT-DRAW, which is object based. It is not great, but you might want to take a look at it. kartik

You can find it on various BBS systems or contact: Marc Rochkind Advanced Programming Institute P.O. Box 17665 Boulder, CO 80308 It's $25 shareware!

I've used In*a*Vision, which is somewhere between Windows Draw and Micrografx Designer in capability (it was replaced by Micrografx Designer). Windows Draw has most of the capabilities, and based on my limited experience with macs seems to be a good "color MacDraw clone." -- Robert -- Robert Plamondon robert@weitek.COM "No Toon can resist the old 'Shave and a Hair-Cut'"

Something >like MacDraw or Adobe Illustrator would be nice. I have seen On Simtel20 there is a program called XVT-Draw. It's an object-based drawing program, but to exchange data you have to go through the clipboard (and thus convert the objects to bitmaps). Eric Hedstrom pa1022%iugrad2@ucsd.edu

XVT-DRAW is available on CompuServe (go msoft). I have tried it and it does handle graphics as objects pretty well. It has misaligned arrowheads on lines and it does not allow rotation of objects, but you can flip them vertically or horizontally. I think you will have a hard time beating it for $25. -=- Hal McMillan | mcmillan@io.cis.ohio-state.edu | "Open the pod bay doors, HAL". CompuServe 72627,642 |

I've been using Micrografx Designer and I think it's a nice package, you get full color (16 on EGA) and lots of options. The price is about $250.
