  • Hmm, it looks like there is supposed to be some more clipart bundled with these 1.10 versions. Really needs a proper dump and scans. Also could use any 1.0 for Windows if that version existed.

  • I've updated and added a bunch of different 1.x versions. Most of them are not from original disks, but they run.

    Note to self: The name is usually stylized as CorelDRAW!, (Although not in the 1.x versions) with the name as one word and "DRAW" in upper case. It usually is followed by an exclamation point, but for file naming purposes, it is best to omit that, and standardize on "CorelDRAW".
  • The recent offer by @SlashNet makes what I have look shabby.

    The v1.01c I believe came from the '500 gigabyte warez collection".
    Files were packed with the earliest version of PKZip. so you will need that to extract.

    So, here is what I have

  • Those "1.10a" versions are actually "1.10d", at least that is what the about box calls it. No idea if the a/b/c/d/ means anything other than a revision.
  • I have not had time or health to sort them beyond what you see, the naming is as found in the source.

    My general plan with early builds is to install each, get a hash on major exe and dll files. Sometimes it's something simpler, like a change in sample files.

    A lot of work, sifting thru hundreds of possible links, downloads, dupes, incompletes, corruption, etc. For ex, many Winworld archives are stripped of WW text and reuploaded to archive.org or Vetusware as "something new" - the give away is the well though out naming convention WW uses.

    Thank you for sorting the mess out.
