Hopefully this isn't taking an off topic issue too far. If so, please
forgive me.
I have a beta copy of CorelDraw9 on CD for review purposes which includes
Corel PhotoPaint. For whatever it's worth, here is what the distribution
looks like in disk usage terms:
mjhammel(tty0)$ du -sk *
155316 Graphics9
48788 Shared
4916 wine-graphics9
This all gets installed under /usr/lib/corel (ick - not selectable in the beta).
The wine-graphics9 directory appears to contain the wine libs stuff. The
Shared stuff is Corel specific as far as I can tell. Under Graphics9 you
find:
mjhammel(tty0)$ du -sk *
4464 Color
260 Config
18432 Custom
10472 Draw
31268 Filters
4 Papertypes
7984 Photopnt
4 Plugins
50524 Programs
16 Scripts
8 Shared
23348 Tutors
1672 Workspace
4356 bin
104 etc
4 newdaisy.gif
2368 other
24 readme.htm
The executables are actually under Programs:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13352960 May 11 12:06 coreldrw.exe
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9859072 May 11 11:42 photopnt.exe
Keep in mind - these are DOS executables. I doubt they're stripped in the
Beta release. These don't include the numerous DLL's scattered throughout the
distribution. Filters are in a .flt format which "file" reports as a DOS
executable.
Also for what its worth, I can't get these to run using standard colors for
widgets. The backgrounds are a puke olive green and the lettering is blue
(the drawing areas are fine, though). Apparently I'm the only one who has
this problem so far - no one else I know who's tried either PhotoPaint or
Draw has seen this. I'm wondering if they have some kind of color
dependency on KDE or GNOME, since I don't run either (FVWM or Enlightenment
only).
Draw works pretty nice and the tutorial is pretty good. Seems reasonably
fast in comparison to what I expect from the Gimp (yeah, I know - different
types of tools). Unfortunately, it crashes when I attempt the section on
text along a curve.
Just FYI.
