You're looking for the best drawing program for the Mac. Ability to read PICT files is a must, and so is Postscript. My recommendation is Illustrator 88 from Adobe. The new version has som some nice features the original was lacking. Iw will read MacDraw-type files, and acheive other nice effects. A runner up is Cricket Draw, but I believe this is still too slow and PICT file/postscript file handling is a little quirkish. I vote Illustrator 88 the most powerful drawing program, and Canvas the most versatile. In fact, Canvas comes with a desk accessory version that you can pull up in any program that needs graphics. It's like adding a rotated text and bezier curve module to your favorite desktop publishjing program. There's my two cents.
