I have a large file once created in Coral Draw, a few years ago at Uni. (\*.cdr extension).

I would like to open this image today at work, if possible. I have standard the Windows 2000 package, Photoshop 6.0 and lots of CAD packages, but nothing seems to help.

Is there a free download anyone knows of which can allow me to change the file into a \*.bmp or even \*.jpg without needing the original Coral Draw package?

Thanks.
