Hi Fred, I haven't tried any of those yet, though have received several other similar suggestions. My first question would be whether I can get a decent version of any of them that will run under Windoze. If so, then I'll take a closer look. Thanks.

I haven't checked for the limits that concern you but I do use these for vector based stuff and they work pretty well. I don't use any Microsoft stuff and haven't in quite awhile now, so I don't know if there are Windows versions of "Kontour" or "Sketch", but there are for Staroffice and Openoffice.
