I read this string and just had to put in my two cents. For a long time I have tried to figure out why Corel doesn't play together well with other companies such as Adobe and Xara. I think this is more than a lawyer thing...maybe it is. Though I do think it is a business thing. Illustrator has no problems opening CDR files right? But try to import a cdr file into Framemaker and it looks like crap (but it is still better and easier than having to manage and replicate multiple file types). Corel tells me that they have added the request of importing CorelDRAW files directly into Frame and other programs (like they have with Powerpoint). But I am not convinced. IF Xara wants to import cdr files, is it on Xara to figure it out or is it on Corel to tell Xara how it is done? So what is the big deal about sharing formats? Is this a business thing, a bad history thing? How much easier would all of our lives be if we could "all get along". And as smart as we all think we are as a society and as programmers, how frigg'n hard can it be really? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hi, TA: I agree with you completly... I just think that Xara needs to make it clear, in their advertising on site, what files they actually can open so that it isn't missleading to new users. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
