- I think you might be mixing it up with the lawsuit in the USA against PC
- software developers Corel.
- I've got to be honest and say the problems with Corel fade into absolute
- *insignificance* compared to the *huge* bugs in Pagerstream v3, but some
- bloke apparently just got fed up with the "undocumented features" in the
- various versions of Corel Draw and so has brought a lawsuit against
- them.
- I can understand his point - I actually lost work through all the
- hassles I had with Pagestream 3, but I think people sometimes expect too
- much from software - especially when it's leaping forward at such a
- rate!
- Truth is, Corel Draw 5 (and the more recent Xara software) is a *very*
- powerful program - the sort of thing the Amiga community would die for!
