Thanks Rob and James, I appreciate you both replying. I did mention to the person that CorelDraw was first (and last) ported to Mac OS X in 2002 as part of Corel Graphics Suite 11. Support for Rosetta has disappeared in Lion, that is why he cannot run CorelDraw in Lion. “Classic” or “PowerPC” will not work with Lion. ONLY Universal & Intel applications will run in Lion OS X 10.7
He apparently has emailed Corel numerous times but no replies received. When searching last night for a solution to his problem, I did find CorelCAD which is Lion Compatible and does offer a Trial period to test it out. Bob Howell’s also send an email to me this morning mentioning this (thanks Bob). "CorelDRAW® and Corel DESIGNER® compatibility* Export to CorelDRAW® X5 (CDR) and Corel DESIGNER® X5 (DES) formats* to easily re-purpose your work in presentations and marketing-related deliverables." <http://www.corel.com/corel/product/index.jsp?pid=prod4120067&cid=catalog20038&segid=752#tab3> I’ll get back in touch with the person and give him what information I can. Thanks again.
