Carl's email didn't show up on the web version of this list but the 
question had to do with what drawing programs were out there.

A program that I have been using lately on XP (there are other platform 
formats too) is called Inkscape.    www.inkscape.org

I am used to Corel Draw and this program is very similar and is very 
capable.  .PDF reading/writing is also included.  Best of all, this 
program is FREE.  It is a vector based program that will also 
import/export bitmaps.  For bitmap editing (also free and open sourcee) 
may I suggest Gimp  (www.gimp.org)

Here's a quick info about Inkscape:

An Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to 
Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable 
Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha 
blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined 
interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path 
operations, trace bitmaps and much more. We also aim to maintain a 
thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented 
development.
