I assume you want to offer a free UNIX based alternative to CorelDraw. Once upon a time anyway, there was a CorelDraw for UNIX product line. If it still exists, you could have a go at CorelDraw for IBCS2 (SCO UNIX) on FreeBSD. (dunno about Linux) Corel is a bit anti-Microsoft and tends to keep up their non-Microsoft product lines. vis. WordPerfect for UNIX still exists. ============================================ Gardner Buchanan <gbuchanan@sympatico.ca> Ottawa, ON
