“YOU could think of Corel as the chaperone of the software
industry- she keeps the big, testosterone-rich players like
Microsoft and Adobe Systems more or less honest.”

“Such is… true of CorelDRAW 9 Graphics Suite in the graphics
area dominated by Adobe.”

“The suite… includes Corel-Draw9, Corel PhotoPaint9, Bitstream
Font Navigator, CorelTrace, Corel Texture, Corel Capture and Canto

“Corel is also developing for Linux… The CorelDraw Suite

Windows to Linux porting tool called WINE, with which we are
participating in the Open Source development.”
