Hi Kristy,

A Mac version is under development in the open-source branch,

http://www.xaraxtreme.org/

The Linux version is apparently almost finished.  I'll copy the list on 
this message, since there may be others interested in those versions.

best,

TOOL: Very inexpensive alternative to Illustrator etc.

2009-01-20 Thread Stuart Rogers
If you have a requirement to create illustrations but don't want to 
shell out megabucks for the big name programs, take a look at

http://site.xara.com/offers/xaraxtreme/

I've been using Xara for several years, and find it to be a fantastic 
value (even having paid full price).  The offer above is for the 
previous version, for only $19, available till the end of the month. 
You won't believe what this product can do.

(No commercial interest in the company, just a very satisfied user.)

TOOL: Very inexpensive alternative to Illustrator etc.

2009-01-20 Thread syed.hos...@aeris.net
I agree completely! Last December, I bought their suite of three tools
(Xara Extreme 4, Webstyle 4, and Xara 3D 6) for $119 as I recall
(special for the holidays) and it was money well spent, IMHO. I liked it
to the point where I decided not expense it to my company and just
license it myself (so I can keep it eventually!)

I think the combined software is still available from less than the
total of all three. However, for me, the Webstyle product is not one I
would continue to use, but the others are very useful indeed.
