  I have used that once before.  I think it does support plotters...  AND OF
COURSE printers, AREXX, and has darn good PCB layering.  Pretty professional. 
I think you need about 1.5 meg. to run it.  I ran it on a 3 meg machine,
wouldn't run in my 1 meg (FATTER AGNUS!) 500...  Oh well!  I think it's worth
it.  I would buy it if I needed to do PCB work...
