Good job Dewdrop

I first came across Xara when it was being used on the ARM Risc chip of the Archimedes (which I nearly bought in to)
Then they recruited assembler programmers for the PC and I went to a show and bought the beta. At the time CorelDraw was the prevelant package. Xara was simpler but faster, more usable, better results. For a while Corel owned Xara (if you can not beat them - own them)

Xara is 50% feature complete and those features are stable in use. In 6 months every distro will be using Xara. We tend to be ahead of the pack. Use it. Report back to Xara.

Puppys just want to have fun . . .

It's a great program, that's for sure. The dotpup I created is just the generic binary from the Xara website, in a ROX-wrapper. It will also add an entry if you are using xdg menus. So pretty well fully compatible with Puppy.

As far as I can tell, the Xarino and Xara-Cairo forks are also no longer developed.
I don't know of any other forks, though I thought I recalled seeing a fork name that wasn't that similar.

No longer developed is not so much a problem. available in Vanpup . What i miss is a how-to save Pictures. Same deal as InkLite,

Noting the problems and limitations above, if you need a vector graphics application, perhaps try LibreCAD. A wellminded search, http://wellminded.net63.net/, provides some ready made versions.

If you have Tahrpup, the 32-bit version, quickpet provides an easy download from the Graphics tab.

It may well be worth your while to run Tahrpup in addition to whatever other OS you like. Just in its graphics section are such topnotch other applications as gimp and mypaint.

thanks Mikeslr. The target is to save the pictures. In fact, i take a screenshot of the screen, to get jpeg format of work done with Xara (or inklite)
