Canvas, Illustrator, Cricket Draw, MacDraw II, Freehand, Draw It Again Sam... 
so many new products, so many changes, everything new or in new versions... 
how's a person supposed to keep track?

My department needs a drawing program for its Mac II.  It must be able to
read MacDraw documents and/or accept MacDraw drawings via the Clipboard.
Currently, we just need it to turn some MacDraw drawings into PostScript
for inclusion in non-Mac documents.  However, it may be used for technical
illustration in the future, so it must be a very capable illustration 
program.  In fact, it had better have more features than we think we need 
today, because it's probably the only one we can buy for the forseeable 
future.  (However, color is not necessary.)

Therefore, if you have used any of the current crop of object-oriented 
graphics programs, please drop me a line with your opinions.  Pointers to 
comparison reviews of these products in recent magazines would also be 
appreciated.
