Catastrophic HD failure on old PC. Decided to purchase new one. Had CorelDraw Graphics Suite 12 on the old one. Will be upgrading to CorelDraw Premium Suite X5. Anyone know whether I will have to install Graphics Suite 12 before installing the Premium Suite x5 upgrade?
Some of us are OLD!!! 5 inch floppies, DOS was king, no HDs. Those were the days!

DOS is still king.
I upgraded to a new computer myself last week, and restored my graphics files. CD kept complaining the files were read-only. So I used the Control Panel to unset the read-only flag. It would go through the motions, but Corel kept complaining. I finally looked it up on Microsoft's site, and had to go to a DOS prompt to unset the flag using attrib. According to M$, that was "by design." Oy.
I miss DOS. It just worked.
Yea I had to mail the #1 disk of the 5 1/4" set to Corel to get the ver. 2 up grade, the first CorelDraw had to have Windows to run and and the first Windows had more bugs than a old sack of Cotton. I would draw something in CorelDraw export it to a "PLT" or a "DWG" shut the computer down and restart it in dos open AutoCad Import the file then use CadLink to cut the file on a IoLine cutter.
