I personally really *love* Canvas.  It is quite an amazing program.  Besides
the fact that it mixes both Paint and Draw objects in the same layer, it is
really great for anyone dealing with scanned images.  I bought Canvas 1.02
with the promise of getting a free upgrade to Canvas 2.0 (incidentally saving
about $180).  The downswing of this is, if you saw my earlier posting, that
someone else bought Canvas DA with the same registration number as my copy.
So I had to send a photocopy of my diskettes.  Unfortunately, I have been
unable to see Canvas 2.0 to make any value judgements on it, but if its any
bit as good as Canvas 1.02, I would buy it if I were you.  If you can, buy
the old version for the free upgrade.  It might take a bit longer (~3 weeks?)
but you will save quite a bit.
