corel5 problems with 98se

[Bill Elliott]

Hi Brian: No it can't. It seems that something must change the file. I think I get the message
(wrong format) or on one of the eps import functions, the computer locks up.

Hi Brian: Okay. I'll try to put something together today.

Hi Brian: I was talking to a corel tech guy yesterday, and he told me there are major compatibility
problems with corel5 in win98se. I should upgrade to corel9. I have tried 9, but for logo drawing
and the graphics I'm doing, I would rather use corel5. What happened to reduce nodes in corel9?

Hi Brian: I found the curve smoothness, but it doesn't do the same function
as the reduce nodes function in the old drop down node editing box in
corel5.
If you have a drawing with a lot of nodes you can select all of them and
then hit the reduce nodes function.
I changed the message setup to 76 characters.
