I just downloaded it and installed it happily - along with some patches
a friend gave me for hotkeys! - just follow the instructions. I found it
on export.lcs.mit.edu - in the R5 contrib hierachy - can't remember exactly
where - I actually found the readme on archie.au in X11/contrib/xfig.README

It didn;t need porting - I haven't tried it yet though so I'm not sure
how stable it is - I'm a big fan of macdrawpro (the program, not the OS) -
so I have some reservations about using it , but we will see.
