Installing CorelDraw 3.0 (old version)

[Raul]

I just get into this newsgroup today. And I feel everybody's pain trying to
install CD3 in a 1G>HD.

The file is not anymore in Corel's website.

The file with the problem is the:

_mstest.ex_

I know because I was able to download it and install CD3.

Oh, stupid me, I copied that file into another floppy, other than the
original one...

Then, I start using Adobe Illustrator 8 for some time.

Today, I tried to install CD3 and my computer hangs, checking space...
(sound familiar???)

I even install an old HD, 102 Mb (yep, it's an old one, jeje), without
success...

If anyone download the file, please e-mail me a copy...

The file should be the _mstest.ex_ in the first floppy.

Thanks...

I'm sorry, I don't have the cd, only 11 floppys that says:
Draw it!
Chart it!
Paint it!
Show it!

I remember that Corel website used to have a file called

_mstest.ex_

that when I use it, I was able to install CD3.

I didn't copy it to the original floppy.

Thanks to everyone for all the help...

I was able to install CorelDraw 3 from floppies. I found Corel's FTP and the
installfix.exe (I think that's the name...) was there. I'm using 3 again.

Thanks everyone..
