I'm another Draw Plus user: I have the Windows 3.0-compatible v1.1, which
works just fine.  It's not as slick as it might be, but it's quite
powerful in it's own right, and sells for about half the price of Corel
Draw or Designer.  I think the reason nobody has heard of it is because
I've *NEVER* seen any sort of Micrografx ad for DrawPlus; they only
advertise Designer.
