Well, what I need is simple if compared to, say, AutoCAD, but it still requiries lots of CAD capabilities. I considered both xfig and xpaint as basis for the work. Unfortunately there would still remain some 90% work to be done. I'm not lazy, but the time is limited. An alternative is Windows NT ... Any other suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks Andrzej
