Question : MS Draw in a stand-alone form?

Long long ago in an OS far far away we could run MS Draw as a stand-alone (not in word or excel).

I am wondering if that is out there any more. I have been doing some structured drawings and it is a real pain to do them in word or excel but I really like the features I get from MS Draw over Visio. Even some simple OLE container app that uses MS Draw and offers open/save/print/new functionality is all I need.

Or if this isn't available, anyone know of a really good structured drawing program that I can use in place of MS Draw?

Appearantly what you are looking for is a Vector drawing program. Since these are usually a bit more complex you wont find many of 'em in the wild as freeware.

AFAIK Paint Shop Pro has the ability to create vector pictures, as well as Coreldraw and of course Photoshop.

But the latter two seem a bit overdone for your purpose.

Maybe you should scan this list:

to see if something here fits your needs.

Kind regards
