Yes, I understand this (*been there, got the T-shirt and coffeee mug*). As
for CorelDraw! 7, it'll output EPS, AI, PSD... whatever anyone wants. All
Corel does at this point, from what I can see, is patch a few bugs and dump
more and more *bloatware* into its packages. Version 7 is still quite
robust!
