I have had Xara X for a long time and never learned the proigram in depth. I use Corel everyday and have to produce quality EPS and AI files for pagaging and advertising. I continue to come back to this forum and am amazed at the quality of work that I see here. I realize that Xara leaves all other vector programs in the dust when it comes to the illustration effects it offers. The little bit that I have seen on these forums is that my needs as mentioned above might be one of xara's shrt comings.

Please comment as to you experience with this aspect of Xara. I want to be talked into making the jump. Finally, is there anything on the horizon or even a distant committment for a new version coming?

Thanks for any input. Gary Allred
