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.
