Thanks for the intelligent reply. The Anti-MS banter from the "Smart
People" is fully understood, but it never accomplishes much.
I did look at Linux cad, and the $500 wouldn't even bother me. I did
find it a little raspy along the edges.
I did a little Searching using "Wine" as a search term along with
linux, and I found out that VectorCad/Cam has been run under Wine. I
already own that ! That will be a start.
Thanks,
