Intellicad 2000 is available for free on the web, has spline curves and all the gewgaws necessary for form layout. The only gripe I have is that it won't print indexed multi-page output, so you have to use some ingenuity to print full-size forms, but otherwise this program works fine.

: I'm not sure what Corel 7, 8, or 9 are, but I assume we're talking about a
: pretty generic "paint" graphics application. To me Corel stands
: for the last bastion of word processing against the tide of MSWord.
: Although MS took a $200 mil. position in Corel last year, probably due to
: their Linux applications. If you're running this on a PC it would be worth
: your time to get and learn to use one of the CAD programs that can create
: Autocad format files. These applcations start at about $30 and go to maybe
: $100. I think you'll find the end product both less tedious to create and
: more accurate. Somewhere in last fall's archieve's, in a discussion of
: lofting, there's a link to a site that offers Autocad compatible freeware.
: Just my opinion. Hope it helps.
