Lacking a better clue on where to ask this, here goes...

I need to find a good drawing package for my facility, which
is predominently Sun Workstations (Sun 3 to Sun 4), but also
includes a random splattering of Macs, PC's and PC clones,
and a couple of other flavors of UNIX boxes.  

My primary need is for something to supplement the drawing 
capabilities of Framemaker.  The more export formats the
better (EPS, PICT, IGES, HPGL, blah-blah...).

What I have in hand is Leonardo from Qubix and a couple of
PD programs like gremlin and fig.  Now, this demo version
of Leonardo is not all that bad, but I was hoping to find
more advanced capabilities, specially in the freehand drawing
field.  

So, can anyone tell me a) where to ask this question, and b)
what other software exists out there of a similar type?

Thanks in Advance.
