Anyone out there use Claris Draw?

Any Claris Draw users left out there?

I'm probably going to be stuck finding a newer program to replace it eventually (I will hate losing its simplicity) and was wondering if there was anyone who knew if there are any proggrams that will convert Claris Draw files into anything recognizable by even an older version of Page Maker or In Design, or some other kind of draw or page layout program of some type.

I have an awful lot of Claris files I have to figure out what to do with <sigh>

I found Claris Draw to be an excellent program. I kept my older compter(s) so I could still use it. Files can be saved in PICT, and opened in Canvas. My memory is that translation was often not successful, and had to be supplemented by "cut and paste"

I use MacDraw II on a regular basis and I know you can save the files as PICT with that program. MacDraw II evolved into ClarisDraw so I believe you'd be able to export from there.

Nothing beats MacDraw/ClarisDraw for its interface. I'm hoping Apple comes out with a replacement for it someday as part of iWork.
