Digit Magazine (a British creative professionals' magazine) is giving away a full copy of Canvas 7 with its December issue (available November 13). Purchasing the December issue will cost 10 pounds online, though people have reported that a purchase from Barnes and Noble runs around $15-19.
Canvas is what I use for my deckplans .
Canvas from ACD Systems (formerly Deneba) is a jack of all trades graphics package designed mainly for technical illustration. Its core is a vector based drawing package, but it handles raster/bitmap images and light page layout very well. Canvas 9 is the current version, but Canvas 7 will handle deckplans very well.
Canvas is much easier to use than Campaign Cartographer.
The full version of Canvas 9 runs around $350.
Digit may be available at your local Barnes and Noble or Borders Books as an import magazine. Online ordering of this issue is also available.
If you are looking for an inexpensive, easy to use graphics package to do deckplans on Windows or a Mac (OS 9 only), I highly recommend that you take a look.
