I received so many replies to my quest for a Mac-Draw-esque program for
the Amiga that a net-wide post of thanks (and a summary of the results)
is in order.

My requirements: An object-oriented, full design/drawing program with
high-quality font support and PostScript output, if possible. Some
desktop publishing features would also be nice. 'Snap-To-Grid' and
'Align-to-Grid' were also important features.

The top-rated suggestion was to go with Professional Draw 2.0 from Gold
Disk, reasons being:

		1. PostScript support
		2. High-Quality output
		3. Outline Fonts (Gold Disk's, not the AGFA standard)
		4. Full Color support
		5. Alignment features similar to MacDraw II
		
Other suggested packages were:

		Pagestream
		Aegis Draw
		Deluxe Paint III	(No PostScript support)
		IntroCAD 		(Uses 'Plotted' Fonts)


I thank you all for replying so quickly and with such volume! Your
suggestions were greatly appreciated.
