I use Paint (under Microsoft Windows) to make charts, etc.  It does not
print out very nicely, the resolution is so poor!  I send it to a postscript
laser printer and it is still big chunky blocks.  Text looks especially bad
on it.  MacPaint is much superior, but, alas, you can't run it under Windows!

Is there a "paint" type of program which meets the following criteria (more
or less)?

- Runs under MS-Windows
- Has better resolution (like 300 dpi)
- Object Oriented treatment of graphic items
  (like MacPaint, MS-Paint just treats it all as raster bitmap)
- Is preferably PD or Shareware

Please help me out here if you know!
Thanks in advance!
