System Requirements: 286 PC (Preferably 386 or 486), Windows 3.1, 2M memory, graphics monitor, Mouse (or pointing device), Printer, and preferably a CD-ROM drive.

If there is any program that would actually give you an excuse to go out and buy a CD-ROM reader for your computer, this is the one!  Not withstanding the fact that DRAW! is the premier vector-based drawing, text and graphics program available for any platform, the package also includes serviceable charting, presentation and paint programs.  All these are complete implementations of other stand-alone programs.

While all these programs are also available on floppy disk, Corel offers a bonus that is only available on CD-ROM disc: 10,000 pieces of vector based clip-art, and over 200 additional True Type or Postscript typefaces!  Based on a generously estimated cost of $50 per hundred images and per font family from discount publishers, Corel is giving away $10,000 worth of graphics.  This disc is required for anyone who needs graphics.
