CorelDRAW 2.5

CorelDRAW is a vector based drawing and illustration program. Tools like CorelDRAW enabled desktop publishers to create professional quality illustrations that printed and scaled without distortion. It is primarily a Windows application, but was ported to Mac OS, Mac OS X, Linux, CTOS and OS/2. The earliest versions ran on Windows 2.

Targeted at both professionals and beginners, it featured ease of use, a robust set of drawing tools, a clipart library, high resolution fonts prior to TrueType, and detailed font manipulation. It was often a companion product to the bit-mapped photo editor Corel Photo-Paint. It competed against Aldus Freehand, Adobe Illustrator, and Micrografx Designer.

Wanted: Manual scans.
