- What you don't say is that it's as buggy as hell. Half the time is bombs out
- with a (what used to be called) UAE. I get all sorts of weird behaviours
- (e.g. not being able to save or load files: I had to cut my drawing to the
- clipboard as WMF, quit and restart, save the clipboard to a file, then
- import it using the WMF filter). I've heard on the net that there is a new
- version of 3.0. If you buy Corel make sure to get this. And there's no point
- trying to mail them: my e-mail to support@corel.ca is "pending" (uucp
- politely informed me that it would try for another few days to deliver the
- mail). I'm _supposed_ to receive a free upgrade. Have I? You guess.
-
- Now, gripe over. CorelDraw 3.0 is a neat package. The video helps a lot. The
- CD ROM is great. There isn't another drawing package on the market to touch
- it. Assuming that the latest release fixes the bugs (and fixes some really
- _really_ annoying user-interface irritants like the way the text roll-up
- doesn't seem to persist the settings properly) I would definitely vouch for
- its suitability.
