OT: CorelDraw 11 file won't open

[Chris Parker]

[I'm asking my question here because I'm unable to receive the Corel 
newsgroups - if anyone can suggest a way of accessing them I'd be 
grateful]

Last year I created a floorplan of our house in CorelDraw 11. The file 
is dated Oct 02 so I guess I would have been using 10.2.3 or 10.2.4. 
I'm pretty sure the first service pack had been applied to 
CorelGraphics 11.

The file now won't open (Mac OS X 10.2.6), giving an error "invalid 
fill ID". I've tried opening it and backups on two OS X machines, I've 
reinistalled CG11 and reapplied the service pack, and repaired 
permissions on the relevant drive. No change, the file won't open and 
trying to force it to open anyway causes CD11 to crash (Console: 
EXC_BAD_ACCESS/KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE).

Can anybody point me towards a solution? My ISP doesn't list the Corel 
newsgroups which is where I'd expect to find an answer. I put quite a 
lot of work into this file so I'd like to be able to recover it 
somehow. It's 76kb long if anyone else would like to try.

Thanks in advance,
