sK1 vector in on good illustrations
From its name, you'd never know that sK1 is a good vector graphics drawing program, in the same category as better-known names like Inkscape, Dia, and OpenOffice.org Draw. Moreover, sK1 includes a feature that other Linux applications lack: it can read CorelDraw's CDR files and convert them to Linux-friendly formats. sK1 derives its name from Sketch, a free vector graphics editor that appeared about 10 years ago. Sketch eventually became Skencil, but development seemingly got stuck (and eventually stopped) after version 0.6.17 in June 2005, when work was started on a port to GTK+. A group of Ukrainian programmers began working with the Skencil source code around 2003 and produced a fork that became sK1. The focus was to provide full support of professional printer requirements, such as the CMYK color model and PostScript and PDF formats.
