[cad-linux] Re: Bricscad makes IntelliCAD run on wine

That's great that someone is starting to address this potential market with an
established CAD package

Our office has some concerns with Intellicad speed and handling of layer
control (freeze in current viewport) with model space / paper space drawings
but have mainly concentrated testing on the Cadopia version and perhaps your
version solves some of these concerns.

We would like to test this software within the next few weeks and will be able
to provide a review both from the user's experience and the system admin's
experience if such is desired.
