This release of MAPublisher for Windows NT/95 works with Macromedia's Freehand, so you don't have FreeHand, give us a call. There is also a Freehand demo available for download on the MAPublisher pre release page that the MAPublisher Xtras will work with.

The version is a beta, is time-coded and will end on September 30th.
