Sorry, my brain doesn't recall things so good anymore. IUCSICRAAM. All 
versions of CorelDraw after v7 were bloated, incredibly slow resource 
hogs. I used to use CorelDraw (in fact, even got a free copy of 
CorelDraw 2 for participating in the beta test program, identifying a 
bug, and suggesting the fix.)

When you offer a bad product to with major flaws to a market, it doesn't 
go anywhere.

Thanks. Not a clue anywhere in the UI about that. Very poor design. I 
guess incorporating standard UI actions like menus and right-click 
options isn't cool these days.

All of these programs suffer from a severe feature shortage: none of 
them can turn an image into a sound!
