I have CorelDraw 1.21 running under Windows 3 on an AT&T 6300. The computer has a Sota 286i accelerator and a few megabytes of LIM 4.0 expanded memory. I've found that some features of CorelDraw are slightly disabled under this configuration. For example, the node edit menu displays 8 choices rather than 10 - the "symmetrical" and "exit" choices that should appear at the bottom of the menu are missing. Also, the text entry box does not allow input of multiple lines of text. There are a few other minor but annoying deficiencies. Can this be explained? Note that the same versions of Corel and Windows on an AT&T 6286 work as expected. Roger Levy ...!att!groucho!rl

This is documented in the Addendum sheet that comes with version 1.21. Note that control-ENTER is no longer needed with the latest version, 2.0, just a simple ENTER will do. As far as the other issue, node edit box not displaying all choices, what screen driver are you using. If you are running with the Windows' EGA driver, it is a low res option and that may indeed be why you don't see all of your selections. (The 2.x versions of windows' EGA driver had the option for hi and low res EGA, the 3.0 version only has low res EGA). -- uucp: micor!baldy internet: baldy@micor.ocunix.on.ca The Bald Eagle strikes again!
