[Rhodes22-list] The best little drafting program and it's free!

[Ronald Lipton]

I have been using it off and on for a while. It's a fantastic tool but  
you have to learn it's idiosyncacies. As far as I can tell it is not  
really suitable for professional drafting, but it makes great  
illustrations. I will really be convinced if you make a drawing of  
the  Rhodes 22.
