It seems xfig can be installed under cygwin: http://www.cs.usask.ca/~wew036/latex/xfig.html I also thought Inkscape was a popular vector graphics program that runs on linux, mac, and windows (from what I've read it supports latex math but I haven't used the program): http://www.inkscape.org/index.php?lang=en Cheers, /Bob
