We're looking to buy a graphics package and although I've done some
research, it's difficult to tell which package we should go with.
We need one that installs well on a Novell network, can support
multiple screen types and printers, and is reasonbly priced.
It does not have to be Windows-based (from our experience Windows
does not install very well on a novell network). And I suppose
it doesn't *have* to be mouse-based, but I can't imagine a graphics
package that isn't. Speed,  of course, is also important (I've used
some Windows-based packages that are complete dogs!).

One package that seems to be quite well reviewed is Micrografx
DrawPlus. It appears to be full featured but it is Windows-based,
a potential drawback if other Windows-based programs I've used
is any indication (i.e., slow and difficult to install well on
a network). Has anyone used this package?

Any and all comments greatly appreciated. Thanx.
