Much as I use Corel products at work and play, I have to admit that
CorelDraw6 is not one of their better products. It's quite buggy,
unstable and doesn't handle large files well - which is a shame because
that's exactly what it invariably produces. The real shame is that
instead of doing right by their clients that bought Draw6 and issuing a
free revision or patch, they issued a whole new edition which fixes most
of the problems, but which their Draw6 clients are obliged to buy. :o(
Obviously a decision driven by accountants and marketeers who are less
than customer-friendly.
