I agree with Mohamed El Louadi, Ph.D., who recommended DrawPerfect, but I recommend you get the DrawPerfect for DOS, it is a very capable program and of course exports its product seamlessly to all versions of WP. Where to buy it? There is a vendor of obsolete software whose catalog I receive from time to time, I believe I saw the program in there for under $30. I can't recall the name of that vendor however. I am a user of WPWin 6.1 and also of its WPDraw program, and the files created by the combination suffer from severe "byte bloat"- they are unreasonably huge. Another option is to do your drawing in AutoCad LT, then convert the product to *.DXF format, then import into WP which can recognize the *.DXF format pretty well. Good luck!! sunhyuk@leland.Stanford.EDU (Sunhyuk Kim) wrote: >Hello all, >I am looking for a drawing program which is "perfectly compatible" with >WordPerfect 6.0b DOS.
