wine users - Oct 2004 - Corel Draw 11

Hi,

I would like to use CorelDraw 11 under linux with wine (20040813). I
have successfully installed this from the CDs, and I can start using the
following DLL overrides / config:

[AppDefaults\\CorelDrw.exe\\Version]
"Windows"="nt40"
 
[AppDefaults\\CorelDrw.exe\\WinMM]
"Drivers" = ""
 
[AppDefaults\\CorelDrw.exe\\DllOverrides]
"wintab32" = "native"
"imm,imm32" = "native"

which I guessed based on the points where it used to choke when I tried
to run it with the defaults.

However, when running "wine CorelDrw.exe", I see the interface appear,
but several parts are not drawn properly. For example, many of the
toolbar icons appear as solid black rectangles (it's a bit difficult to
see what these represent!!). Also, text in the drawings appears as
distorted outlines only, with a certain amount of pixel noise around
them. As there are relatively few errors on the console, I include these
at the end.

I would be grateful for your help in getting this to work.

Yours,

Chris Rodgers.

Well this is not working somehow. In the messages there are several
lines with "fixme:imm", indicating that the built-in imm32.dll is
used.
You can check with WINEDEBUG=+loaddll whether what you expected is also
what you get.

You should first try this with the latest wine (20041019 brand new).
Second you could try using a native comctl32.dll.

Drawing defects are extremely difficult to debug remotely, it looks that
maybe some very level drawing algorithms are not completely accurate.
Perhaps you can supply a screen shot when zooming in to this pixel
noise. I'm actually amazed how far you have come.
