And now Cowpland trying to be a martyr by not taking a salary in 2000. The scam worked for a few hours and drove up the stock briefly. By 1 p.m. EDT, however, investors figured out cash-poor Corel wasn't on the path to profitability and would need more layoffs to cut costs. zdii.com

>>>Linux is not going to save Corel.<<< I think you're right on that one Rod. I recently got Corel Linux by way of buying the Corel WordPerfect Office 2000 suite for Linux. I naively thought Corel had accomplished a tremendous technological feat re-writing Office 2000 as a Linux program. The little secret is that Office 2000/Linux programs (WP,Paradox, Quattro, etc.) are not Linux programs at all but are simply the Windows version running under translator called "Wine" I found this 'sandwich' to be buggy and crash prone to the point of, in my opinion, being completely unreliable for any kind of serious production setting. So far its just a toy I'm playing with.
