I can do it for you if you send it to me, but I can also tell you how I do it (because I don't have AI.)

1. Open the AI file with Adobe Viewer
2. Save it as a PDF
3. Open the PDF in Ghostview
4. Use the "convert" command to convert it to "pdfwrite"

Now you should be able to import the new file into Corel Draw.

forgot your "r", and added as "s" in steve's. Both forwarded with corrected addresses.
Rip's just came in, and is a little mucked up, like it combines elements of the the front and back designs. I don't really know, because except for a ps/jpg mock I have, I wouldn't have know how it should look.

Trouble with this tyoe of thing, I have no idea how complete the files are or are meant to be. Whether it is just the logo we are seeing, or if it was complete with text.

Okay all, thanks for playing. The artist just called, and yes, the file is incomplete. She apparently thought that I was  doing the layout and just needed the raw logo.
Of course, that didn't open exactly correctly either, but new stuff is on the way tomorrow. We'll see
