hello
i was woundering if anyone had a copy of corel draw they would be willing to let me get a copy of?
ive got a disc called coral draw and more 4. with loads of clipart on. but need coral draw to use it!
can any 1 help?
i think you'll find you can still buy it :)
besides, if the clipart has the .cdr extension then you can probably convert it to something more useful.

Corel Draw only costs around £350!
Corel Paintshop Pro is around £75!
Why not go to www.corel.co.uk and use a free trial to see if you can convert all the clipart into other formats.
i bet you could get corel draw 4 for the price of a chinese takeaway. its yonks old.
CorelDraw 9 OEM version kicks 4 & 5's scrawny butts, & goes for under £20 in a few places...
Check Amazon, ebuyer, ebay...
Not even Irfanview will convert/read .cdr files properly, will only preview them. Adobe Illustrator or other vector graphic package will, but you're better off with CorelDraw. Quite a few people still use 9 rather than 11 or 12, as the newer ones tend to mess with CMYK colours in a dodgy way...

........... isn't Corel 4 for Windows 3.1? Unlikely to run on XP.
There are some .cdr file converters available as free/shareware if you search a bit.
