I bought it ($25 for students) and like it very much for drawing diagrams, but it doesnt do much else that a drawing program normally supports. Also, the Unidraw thesis by John Vlissides (CSL-TR-90-427) mentioned a diagram editor built using Unidraw. Is this a freebie? It would be nice if someone would come out with a modification to idraw that unified the select/move/resize separate tools into one (following the mac-like conventions). Since some people seem to like the tools being separate, perhaps it should be optional to combine them. Dan LaLiberte National Center for Supercomputing Applications liberte@ncsa.uiuc.edu
