<<<<Well, I now have a bunch of MacIntosh Freehand diskettes with artwork on them and no way to transfer them to Corel. Does anyone have an idea of how to do this? Someone mentioned a program from Altsys. Are their any Mac shops in Portland that have this?>>>> James, There is no easy way of getting from Aldus Freehand to CorelDraw. The problem being that the EPS file created by Aldus is proprietary. One known method is to take the Freehand EPS file and run it through a filter called "EPS Exchange" manufactured by Altsys. What this does is changes the Freehand proprietary EPS format into an Adobe Illustrator EPS format which CorelDraw can import. Hope the above was of help to you and thanks for your interest in CorelDraw. Frank Technical Support
