    While I lived in L.A., I shared an appartment with the technical
writer at out company.  While I was there, they switched from using
Freelance to using a program called Micrographx Designer.  Now, as I
didn't use it (much) myself, I can't say anything first hand.
However, it produces encapsulated Postscript output (translation,
append a ^D to the file before printing), uses a very Mac-like
interface (it comes w/ the runtime MS-Windows package), and was
generally well received by everyone in the company.  The only really
specific complaint I heard was that, while it was easier to use and
more powerful than Freelance, it was a newer program and still had a
few minor bugs.  Of course, that was a year ago now, and things may
have changed.
