- Every computer program has bugs. It is a question of whether or not the
- bugs are ones you can work around or ones that paralyze you. Alas, I
- have found one bug in Corel that is very intermittent. That is a far
- cry from describing it as "buggy as hell"! Corel Draw 3.0 is a massive
- and very powerful program released on the heels of Windows 3.1. When
- you have a new release operating under a new operating system, you are
- bound to have incompatabilities and problems. The same thing happened
- when PC Tools 7.0 was release concurrently with DOS 5.0. That was *far*
- worse since major portions of the program wouldn't run correctly. It
- will be interesting, however, to see how Corel addresses the maintenance
- release situation with its CD-ROM users...
