GEM DRAW+ is NOT public domain, it is from Digital Research like all of the
other GEM products.

P.S. "Paint" programs are basically bit-mapped graphics, once you paint it
all the program knows are the bits. "Draw" programs are "vector" graphics
that remembers the shapes, hence you can click on them, resize them, etc.
There are lots of paint and draw programs - look for the ones that are
called "draw". I can't remember if there are any P.D. draw programs; another
non-public domain draw program is HP's "drawing gallery" (pardon the
commercial, note where I work!) - it ain't cheap though.
