I have a .cdr file that I need converted to … anything. I found someone with Corel Draw 7 ( I think?) and it said it needed a newer version. * * * – From an actual catalog: “Disco balls create an enchanting, dazzling effect of light shafts, adding movement and glamour to any occasion” _the Abrams’ bris was certainly memorable_ O p a l C a t [www.opalcat.com](http://www.opalcat.com) ---

I’m pretty sure my son has Corel 8, but how would I get it to you, Opal? If you have an FTP server, I could upload it to you. ---

No, Wally. She uploads the image to you, and you do the conversion. _sigh_ 😉 * * * [The Legend Of PigeonMan](http://www.hotkey.net.au/~guanolad/pigeonman/) - **Shadow of the Pigeon** - Weirdo of the Night ---

Oops. I thought she wanted the program. Sorry. The blood doesn’t get to my brain so good. I looked for the CD and can’t find it. He must have it at school. ---

Right. I don’t want the program, I just need someone to convert this file for me. Tuba tried to convert it to Adobe Illustrator format, but when I tried to open it in Photoshop it was a blank file. 😕 * * * – From an actual catalog: “Disco balls create an enchanting, dazzling effect of light shafts, adding movement and glamour to any occasion” _the Abrams’ bris was certainly memorable_ O p a l C a t [www.opalcat.com](http://www.opalcat.com) ---

I’ve got Corel Draw 8.0. I’ll do it for you if nobody else can. I convert a few of those into AI files every night for work, so I’m pretty used to it. Just send me the file if you need to… ---

OpalCat, According to my PSP 6 you should be able to open up the file, have you tried that yet? It was listed as a file to associate with anyway, it’s worth a try if you haven’t ---
