OCAD on a Mac?

[Angry Haggis]

There is an alternative to persuing the OCAD route. I used Adobe Illustrator with the excellent MapStudio plugin, to produce a map over Christmas (admittedly, a very very very small map) and was surprised how straightforward and powerful it was, having never used Illustrator before. It only took me a couple of hours to learn how to use the application and plugin, and get the map done.

Anyone got any successful experience of using on a Mac (with a PC emulator)?

Yes, about 15 years ago - it was slow and painful but worked.

I do run Ocad 8.13 on a Mac, using Virtual PC (and Windows XP). Works fine, but is a little slower than conventional pc, particularly loading , zooming and panning through big maps.
