I agree that Corel Draw 2.0 is great, especially if you like to manipulate type. (Of course, I haven't used anything else :-). I have had a few problems with it, however, particularly in printing to the HP PaintJet. Bitmap fills don't stay within their boundaries and end up printing only black and white. Vector pattern fills print like the back of a tapestry rug (no resemblance to original pattern). In general colors are _much_ darker on the PJ than on the screen, but that's probably just technology. I also don't remember the base note mentioning the enhanced autotrace program that comes with. I guess it was introduced with 1.2, but I went straight from 1.1 to 2.0. Trace is hard to control, but it sure does give a good way to get drawings into CD. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reed Jacobson reedj@hplsla.hp.com -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
