Acrylic (E4) is the MS version that runs on XP SP2. There was some discussion on the MS forum about running on W2K and an Emulated Mac. I don't remember the if there was a solution. E3.3 is the MS trial version prior to the XP requirement. I use E3.2 a Creature House version. I have Acrylic installed as well. There was an E3.3 Mac version as well. Most everything I have been doing can be done in the earlier versions. The newer strokes and painting tools would not be compatible.

The map methods work in the earlier versions, too. This was an unknown capability.

The earlier versions allowed external plugins. Acrylic presently doesn't.

MS has a new section showing some of the user work and tutorials.

I use Outlook to view the News base forum and see the used produced graphics. The gaphics are not avaibale on the Web base forum.
