According to Codeweavers, CoralDraw12 is untested: http://www.codeweavers.com/site/compatibility/browse/name?app_id=610 But version 11 shows up as known not to work. http://www.codeweavers.com/site/compatibility/browse/name?app_id=794 The good news is that the WinXP/Win2K API implementations in Wine do actually work better than the old Win98/95 API implementations, so if you have CorelDraw12 lying around I suggest it's worth downloading Codeweavers trial version and giving it a test: http://www.codeweavers.com/site/products/download_trial/ I also notice Corel have a 30 day unlimited function free trial version available for download, so if you know someone with Windows you could get them to install the trial and convert your files to something useful :-) http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel2/Products/Content&pid=1047022690654&cid=1047022692152 According to this Corel faq: http://support.corel.com/scripts/rightnow.cfg/php.exe/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=FFNMBRuh&p_lva=&p_faqid=753535&p_created=1067965481&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTE2NiZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPTMmcF9wcm9kX2x2bDE9MTUmcF9wcm9kX2x2bDI9MTMzJnBfc29ydF9ieT1kZmx0JnBfcGFnZT0x&p_li= CorelDraw 11 7 12 include a VBA macro to batch convert you CDR files to any of CMX, CDR, EPS, AI, WPG, WMF, CGM, PCT, SWF, SVG, DSF, DXF, BMP, JPEG, PPF, CPT, TIF, GIF, and PNG. I'd say EPS, SVG or DXF would be your most portable formats. Cheers!
