A friend of mine was at our local computer club yesterday proudly showing off his latest version of ProDraw for Msdos. Not withstanding the different platforms the program runs on what annoys me is that the manual for his ProDraw made the manual for my ProDraw (Amiga) look like something left over from a garage sale. Also supplied with the Dos version was more superb cliparts than I had time to count. Now no doubt it will be pointed out that the Dos version is more expensive but both versions are marketed as "professional" programs. I would rather pay that bit extra and have decent, well thought out and presented manuals together with the little extras and so I would have thought would the majority of us "professional" Amiga users. It's more than time that us Amiga users were treated as though we were not using games machines. BTW., I've orderd a 386sx board as the cheapest way of getting decent Dos ability. Seems the only way to go.

Actually, many people bought Pro Draw for Windows for about $100, on a very commonly used "competitive upgrade" program. A lot of Windows-based drawing programs were engaged in this sort of "$100 gets you us if you own them" marketing.

I upgraded to Corel Draw from Pro Draw, for use on my Bridgeboard. To heck with Pro Draw for Windows – long live Corel! (Another Canadian company.) …..Nancy From Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
