Rev's Portability

Ditto Jim!

By the way, an excellent substitute for Corel in Linux nowadays is Xara Xtreme. You cannot import Corel files into it unfortuntately, but apart from that they have done a really smashing job with their Linux version. Just a detail...

I use both Mac and Win computers and have for years. Linux is still foreign
to me only because I have apps and workflow that is not supported there.

I am rooting for Linux to surge to the forefront with power apps and a
cleaner user experience.  I would add Linux to the arsenal, especially for
the internet exposure, if it were practical for me.  The Mac is my familiar
world and does quite well on the net.

Hmmm, I wonder if someone on the list has solved this, or a Linux library
would handle the tricky issues you describe.

Good thread.
