It's a really rather cool drawing app, only 'drawing app' doesn't do it
justice. If memory serves (and I've not seen it for a *long* time), it's
based heavily around paletted prefab bits, which you drag into a
document. As a result, it's *very* quick for doing things like
flowcharts, network diagrams, floorplans, and so on. The quality of the
source material is good, too. You wouldn't use it for the same purpose
as Freehand or Illustrator, but it does what it does rather well.

The only thing I can think of on a Mac is Claris' somewhat-moribund (ie.
dead) Impact, but if memory serves that was always a pale imitation
anyway. 

With luck I'll have jogged someone's memory, and they'll be able to tell
us all of an equivalent Mac app. Please?
