Hi Robin;

If you find anything on this please let the list know (or at least me
;-) ). I've looked for years for a linux solution to CDR files, and
have never found anything. I have several hundred CDR files that I'd
like to convert, and the only solution I've come up with is a file by
file conversion to some other format (WMF or CGM) from within a
Win/CorelDRAW installation.
