Are there any apps or utilities that can create Corel DESIGNER (formerly Micrografx Designer) dsf files to something more universal?

The venerable GraphicConverter was my main hope but that couldn't cope.

I claim zero expertise here, but there was an online service claiming to be able to do it:
<https://cloudconvert.com/cdr-to-dxf>

On a local machine basis, a DTP app called Scribus is also claimed to be able to open them:
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/> with source of claim being<http://justsolve.archiveteam.org/wiki/Scribus>

Is Corel Designer .dsf the same as Corel Draw .cdr?

Ah, apparently there are a variety of Micrografx formats: http://justsolve.archiveteam.org/wiki/Micrografx_Draw
(and .dsf != .cdr)

but maybe possibly Scribus can open .dsf? The Scribus page lists
'Micrografx Draw (.drw)' but no mention of .dsf.

Worth a try and see.
