I guess I picked a bad time to finally discover the Corel SVG Viewer

It looks as if Corel have also killed off WebDraw since their take over of
Jasc (creators of Paint Shop Pro).  WebDraw was an application I've always
liked and really wanted to see what version 2 could become.  With only
minor changes it could easily be marketed at graphics designers creating
SVG for mobile devices.  I should of known, it has been stuck at version 1
for too many years and $200 was far too steep a price.  Oh well.

Good think Inkscape continues to improving so fast.
