After several tries, I`ve finally found a program suitable for drawing
deckplans. As a test, I remade the plans for an old Vargr Trader that the
players in my campaign have been jogging around in.
(Jump2, 1G, Slightly modifyed (6 low berths added) version of the one that
appeared in the Vargr Alien Module. Tonnages according to the old method, but
there is no big discrepancies.)
I've managed to get it into a postscript file (by using the alt-F hack) and
run some nice program on the resulting file that is supposed to make it
compatible with Laserprinters other than apples.
(It has only been tested on a LaserWriterII connected to the unix machines,but
it printed ok when I fed the file to the printer with standard 'lpr')
The bad news is that the file is somewhat large..
<Chorus> "HOW LARGE?"
130k...
So posting directly to the TML is definately out of the question.
But if anyone wants a copy, mail me and I'll be hapy to mail it (split into
smaller segments).

PS. I've got 2 versions of the file, One formatted for A4 paper and one for
'US letter' (whatever that is?). I'll send you the US letter version
unless you want the A4 one (or, heavens and quota forbid, both).
PPS. It uses the fonts Helvetica and New Helvetica Narrow. But those seems to be
somewhat standard.
