Hi, By the way, next time if you will need to convert something from CDR to another format you can eventually download Corel Draw X4 as a trial and do the conversion (and uninstall CorelDraw in the end). the only thing you need is a computer with Windows (and that not very hard to find)
here's the download trial page at corel's website: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Content/1152796555406 Anyway, let's hope uniconverter and SK1 will be available for 64bit computers soon :) Molumen ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Jason Jordan" <[email protected]> To: <scribus at lists.scribus.info> Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 1:39 AM Subject: Re: [scribus] Ping Oleksandr Moskalenko re SK1 > On Tue, 27 May 2008 11:14:11 -0700 (PDT) > avox <avox at arcor.de> dijo: >> John Jason Jordan-2 wrote: >> > I understand Oleksandr is familiar with SK1, an image editing program. >> > I discovered SK1 while searching for something that will open >> > CorelDRAW .cdr files. > >> There's also UniConvertor from the same authors as sk1.
