Question
Corel .cmx to AI8 Mac
When I no longer have access to Mac Classic OS, I won't able to access clipart in my ancient Corel Gallery 2 collection (circa 1995). The files are in .cmx format.
AI CS3 under OS X won't open the .cmx files.
An AppleScript on the the Corel Gallery 2 CD is supposed to use the 'Corel Gallery 2.0 PPC' application to export as EPS, but I can't get the batch portion of the script to work in Classic OS. The problem seems to relate to an unsupported drag and drop command.
I've installed Illustrator 8 under Classic. It will open the .cmx files and allow me to save them as AI 8 files (which would be my first choice of file format).
Can anyone suggest a way to use AI 8 to batch-process a folder of .cmx files to AI8 format?
