Zoner Draw 3 is a vector graphics drawing program, quite similar to
CorelDraw, though with a few less features. The interface is very
like that of CorelDraw, so it's easy for Corel users to switch over.

The drawing package in Open Office is the same kind of thing, too

Maybe if you explained what you want to do you might get some reasonable
suggestions.

CorelDraw is a pretty complex program that can do lots of things.

The Graphics app in Open Office isn't even close to CorelDraw version 3 from
the early 90's.

Zoner Draw may be worth a look...never tried it myself so can't comment.

Some folks here have noted Pixia as a good one and I'm sure there are
others. Perhaps you could check SOS' site for a few hints...

Serif DrawPlus 4
....is pretty nice for freeware. Also if you download the freeware and
leave an email-address they will eventually offer you a newer version
of the software for just $10!!

Rob,
They will also spam you to death at the email address you give
them. That was my experience.

Mine too until I used the unsubscribe option.

Drawplus 4 is very similar to Coreldraw
http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/serif/dp/dp4/index.asp
but is registerware (free registation).

George,
I unsuccessfully tried *three times* to unsubscribe. In the end, I
changed my email address. I was about to anyway, but the Serif spam
pushed me over the edge.

Then, be prepared - create a new e-mail address just for them and never
bother to look into it.
You have the software and the spam is in a cul-de-sac.

A clever man knows how to solve a problem - a wise man knows how to avoid
it!
p.s. Pass this idea on to Mr Bush.

Next time maybe you should try http://www.spamgourmet.com to register
software with.

Thanks Melinda. However, since then I've started an account with
www.despammed.com. Nice thing about despammed is that you don't even
have to give them your real email address.

Trevor, I've since then taken such steps (www.despammed.com)

I'll avoid comment on this. Too controversial and not about freeware,
and we don't want to start a large O.T. political thread. 80)>

I just found this. It looks pretty decent.

========

Sodipodi is a vector-based drawing program, like CorelDraw® or Adobe
Illustrator® from the proprietary software world, and Sketch or Karbon14
from the free software world. It is free software, distributed under the
terms of the Gnu General Public License, Version 2.

Sodipodi uses W3C SVG as its native file format. It is therefore a very
useful tool for web designers.

It has a relatively modern display engine, giving you finely antialiased
display, alpha transparencies, vector fonts and so on. Sodipodi is written
in C, using the Gtk+ toolkit and optionally some Gnome libraries.

Sodipodi works under most versions of Unix and Windows.

This is a major find, Steve. It's reported as beta but seems pretty
stable, though I did manage to make it crash once altering text
properties. It's reasonably intuitive, particularly to anyone who has
used the Gimp, having a similar screen layout.
