Question
on what programming platform   and technology was the different versions of corel draw developed?

Answer
I don't know, but at a guess I would say it was originally written in C on Intel-based 80286 and 80386 PCs running at 4.77MHz, for Windows 2. This hardware would have been the state of the art in its day, although a modern mobile phone has a lot more processing power.

I believe CorelDraw was originally available for the PC only (not Mac)

If you take a look at the Corel website there is quite a bit about the company's history. Perhaps there's some software history too.

Expertise

My main area of continuous expertise with CorelDraw involves setting press advertisements and I have rarely used it to produce complex drawings. However as director of a small company I have amassed a good deal of background knowledge of computers, various printers and networks over the years. When it comes to problem-solving, I have a long history of having nobody to ask but myself and, lately, the internet!

Experience

About 20 years' experience in daily use, from version 1

Education/Credentials
University educated and over 2 decades of hands-on experience

My first printer was a Star LC10 Colour and I once paid £1745 for an HP Laserjet III.
