Hello,
I was tasked last night to recover some archived files and came across the problem of using proprietary file formats.
I have 44 Corel Draw files that I need to convert to something that I can either view or actually edit such as OOo Draw.
Has anyone come across a solution other than the obvious, find a Windows computer, find a copy of Corel Draw and install Corel Draw?
I searched for over 2 hours and tried everything that I could.
I have also posted a message to the ImageMagick list as well.
Thank you. -- Robin Laing
Hi Robin;
If you find anything on this please let the list know (or at least me ;-) ). I've looked for years for a linux solution to CDR files, and have never found anything. I have several hundred CDR files that I'd like to convert, and the only solution I've come up with is a file by file conversion to some other format (WMF or CGM) from within a Win/CorelDRAW installation.
-P
In my searches last night I did come across one software package that
*mhhh and which software package?
I cannot remember. It was about midnight after being up since 05:30. In one of the revision comments it stated better support for Corel CDR files. But I tried it and there was no luck. I may still have the file on my home computer and I will check.
Being Friday, some people are not in today but I did hear of someone that is supposed to have Corel Draw on their computer. I found a copy of Corel Draw 11 but it won't install on the Windows computer I have as I only have win95.
