Autocad: older versions ran on AIX, HP/UX, IRIX, and Solaris, but they've
dropped support in recent versions. Given that Linux is going to
continue to catch on, perhaps they'll make a Linux version someday.
Until then, there are several good 3D rendering packages, but
unfortunately no good CAD packages that I'm aware of -- certainly
nothing on the level of Autocad. You could always try it under
Wine -- apparently some people have gotten it to run that way.
Corel Draw: You're in luck -- this will be released for Linux by the end of
the summer. (Price comparable to the Windows version.) In fact, you
can download PhotoPaint for free now from <http://linux.corel.com>.
Forte Agent: Check out PAN <http://www.superpimp.org/>. I personally prefer
SLRN, a text-based newsreader <http://www.slrn.org/>.

Do you know what format this is stored in?
