I have used Nautilus ProSurf for over eight years in both DOS and Windows versions. I have tried other programs and found that most do the job reasonably well. Nick's gives good advice to try the demos first. You can then pick the one that suits your style. "Better" in the case of design programs really seems to mean "Works well for me".
