Tried the WinPlas plasmid drawing program (DEMO!) once. It seems to
have all the features that are required for high quality plasmid maps.
Drawbacks: (1) It is only a demo version and it is very rudimentary
(for instance, the print mode is blocked) . (II) It is far too
expensive (>$600, if I remember correctly).
