- One of the recent InfoWorld issues reviewed the major PC and Mac
- illustration programs. Professional Draw ended up last in a 5 package
- field (Adobe Illustrator [Mac and Windows], FreeHand [Mac and Windows],
- Micrografx Designer [Windows], Corel Draw [Windows, with Mac coming soon],
- and Professional Draw). Corel was on top of the heap, and the other
- 3 in the middle. All had their strengths and weaknesses. P. Draw's biggest
- weakness was a severe printing bug that InfoWorld said that GoldDisk had
- confirmed. You might want to find that issue and look over the review.
- The competition in this field is tough - and for now everyone is struggling
- to keep up with Corel.
