CorelDRAW is NOT a PostScript processor.  It can read certain EPS
files (specifically, those created by Adobe Illustrator, and those
created by CorelTRACE.)  When reading these file formats, it does not
execute the commands, but rather turns them into internal CorelDRAW
objects which you can then manipulate.  (I.e., CorelDRAW understands
what each of the little PostSript procedures that AI defines does, and
converts them into an internal format).  You can think of AI and
CorelTRACE EPS files as a very specific subset of PostScript.

If you want be able to view any PostScript file, get Ghostview (for
the PC).  It is GNU Freeware.  There are also severl commerical
products.

PS	Ghostview view is on SIMTEL20 in <MSDOS.POSTSCRIPT>, and on
	its mirrors (oak.oakland.edu) in /pub/msdos/postscript/gs*.zip
	(there are also some font files you will need, look at the
	Index file for more information)
