ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No updates to FreeHand have been made for over four years, and Adobe has no plans to initiate development to add new features or to support Intel-based Macs and Windows Vista.
Freehand requires Rosetta to be installed. Rosetta provides PPC code emulation allowing applications containing PPC code to run on Intel based Macs.

What am I missing about this? It still wants a serial number.

Is this a program similar to MacDraw? Will it open old MacDraw files?

I always was fond of Freehand--it had some subtleties done right that still don't feel right in Illustrator to this days, such as the feel of its "snaps", and the fact that you could actually numerically position control handles on bezier points and toggle from corner to smooth point or vice versa so straightforwardly. Ah memories!!!

Among other things, I miss the sounds it made when working with the pen tool.
There are some humorous Freehand vs. Illustrator videos that I found in the newsletter linked in Mr Downtown's link (I joined BTW):

You do know the bounding box was a pref, right? It lasted about two minutes until I found out how to turn it off.
And that's one of the other great things about FH (I don't yet speak of it in past tense, as I use it about six hours every day). There's about three different ways to do nearly everything, usually including numerically, in a floating palette, and in a menu command with a keyboard shortcut.

I thought it might be nice to try Freehand so I went to the site steve gave, downloaded the 11.02 version, double clicked on the downloaded file and it expanded to give a folder with two items, one called the installer. I double clicked on that and nothing. It sat there and tied up half of my CPU for a good while and went nowhere. I tried the whole procedure again; again nothing. Any advice? Thanks.
MacBook 2.0, 4GB, MacOS 10.6.2.

How long is a "good while"? The installer can sit and 'think on it' for awhile. I was reading a book while I did it, so I'm not sure how long it was, but it wasn't quick. But once it gets going, the install from that point on is pretty fast.Quote

I have Rosetta but I didn't get far enough to need it. It wouldn't install. Is there a difference in the programs that expand the .hqx files? Maybe an error was created in that process. I did download it a second time and got the same result. The installer shows two progress bars one is labeled "Items remaining to be installed: 1208" and the other is labeled "Searching MacBook HD" (MacBook HD is the name i've given my HD).
