Thanks for your responses.
I've downloaded both Serif offerings. To my mind, neither of them can do as much as my old Corel products, but I'll play with them for a week or two. Probably, after 10 years, I speak Corel fluently and have to ferret about to get fairly simple stuff done with Serif. Seem to remember the same frustration when I was looking for a replacement for GSP Publisher.
Haven't looked at Xara yet. I'll prob. have a look once I've given Serif a fair(er) trial. Who knows, I might get to like them...
Thanks anyway, guys
