I would like to ask the people who used Micrografix DrawPlus 
to mail to me or post in here some technical information on:
  - the text editing capabilities and font support (symbols ?)
    of the tool,
  - WYSIWYG,
  - import/export formats,
  - use with MS WordForWindows,

+ general impressions.

I obtained two-sheet marketing letter from Micrographics and
they promised to call me with more information, but I would like
to hear as many opinions as possible before I buy it.

For those who are interested:

Micrografix phone #: 1-800-733-3729 ext. 3250 USA
                                         3710 Canada

The list price: US$250.00.

Educational discount: US$114.50 (a letter from the university
				 required + the statement that
				 it will be used for teaching
				 only, and not research 8-< )

My price: Carleton University Bookstore: Can$190.00 (+15% taxes)
          (it is in Ottawa, Canada)      (it is not an educational 
					  discount)
