I have two versions of Idraw on my Sparcstation.   Unfortunately, I don't
know their exact version numbers, but I believe the following description
should suffice to eliminate any ambiguity.  The older version (which is from
the era when multiple views were not supported) does what I expect when
writing text in landscape mode: namely, it goes left to right across the
screen (and left to write across the print-out when the print-out is held
in the landscape orientation).  The newer version of idraw (which I believe
was the first version to support multiple views and the first version to
separate the selection of arrows from the selection of line thickness in
the "Brush Menu") does not do what I expect in the landscape orientation;
the page border gets flipped sideways, but inserted text gets printed in
the same orientation as it would have had I stayed in Portrait Mode (i.e.,
in landscape mode text comes down from the top of the page to the bottom
with the tops of the characters oriented to the right of the Landscape mode
page border - in other words, the text is only readable from left to right
if the print-out is held in a Portrait orientation)

Now the question- before I go to the trouble of compiling version 3.1,
could someone tell me if this strange behavior has been fixed, or is this
known to be a "feature" of the later versions of idraw?


Thanks for the info,
