Hi Fred.
That's simply wrong.
In the past (about 5 years ago) you could download Corel Photopaint 9 for Linux from http://linux.corel.com/
You are right, that this is no native linux app, but it has been seriously tweaked and was explicitely ment to run through wine libs which were included in the package.
That was my point..........it's a "Bloze" application. It was and still is!
It was horrible and nearly unusably slow, but it worked.
But it's end of life now, because it doesn't run on newer distributions because of gcc libraries which are not binary compatible if the version step is too large.
They didn't want to spent the needed time on this and so they just removed the linux.corel.com site.
Yep..............and better they did. Either port it and support it correctly, or get rid of it. Fred -- Paid purchaser of ALL SuSE Linux releases since 6.x
