Though, I, too, use CorelDRAW, I find it generally inadequate for
generating images of exaxt pixel dimensions.

Since vector programs need to convert physical dimensions to pixels, there
is, invariably (espcially with CorelDRAW, some rounding error imparted that
either generates an image that is just shy of the desired pixel dimensions
and/or the straight lines get anti-aliased. The crispest looking bitmap
"round-rec" has anti-aliasing ONLY on the rounded corners, not on the
straight lines.

Also, it's hard to justify the cost of adding a major vector program to
one's arsenal just to generate a few round-recs.
