What is the best open-source vector-based drawing program?
I can’t afford Illustrator, so I had been using an old version of CorelDraw (ver. 7). I can’t find my CorelDraw 7 CD and I need to reinstall Windows on my computer. Is there an open-source program that is good?

Inkscape is most popular for those who using alternatives to Illustrator or Corel Draw. I’ve tried it and I’d recommend it over Xara open source.

Also, if you ever want a full desktop publishing suite that does essentially everything the Quark does (since you are already familiar with Corel Draw) try Scribus. Their output is just as professional…

if illustrator is absolutely not an option, then try to find an older version of macromedia’s freehand. the tools are a little different from illustrator, but nothing drastic.
