POSITIONING:
SmartDraw is aimed at NON-graphics professionals and does not belong in the
"graphics" sections of catalogs and BBS's, along side TopDraw etc. It belongs
in the "General Applications" area. 
SmartDraw makes it easy for non-experts to draw diagrams, charts etc.

Technical professionals will find it very useful for flowcharting and diagrams. 

Users of Word Processors (MS Office, SmartSuite, WordPerfect) will find it a great
add-on to these suites, working as an OLE server. Users can insert SmartDraw
drawings directly into their documents without leaving their Word Processor,
Spreadsheet etc.

Everyone will find it a quick and easy general purpose drawing tool, for
making simple flyers, notices, forms and other drawings.

REGISTRATION:
$49 for latest disk, more than 1500 additional images and templates, 
printed 120 page manual and technical support.
