Actually the BEST graphics program I've seen for the IBM is a program
called Arts & Letters by Computer Support Corporation.  It runs out
of Windows and has more capability than MacDraw on the Mac.  It will
do all the splines and curves you want plus add points to them so
you can stretch and manipulate them to your desires.

One of the extra features it supports is the ability to convert
text to graphic format so you can stretch and/or redesign text
for a special logo .....  It also comes packed with over 1000
basic shapes which can be combined or used as a starting point
for your current drawing.

It is probablly equivalent to Gem's new ARTLINE program which I've
seen advertised (although I've not been able to try out Artline to
make any personal comparisons).

Arts & Letters retails for $695.00, but if anyone is interested or
can't find it locally I can probably get them a discount on it.
