[cad-linux] Re: TomCAD

Hi,

Thanks for offering testing help. It would be most helpful. A working RedHat
version will be available soon (this week).
If you looking foreward to a scriptable system, TomCAD might be just right
for you, as the whole system itself is
programmed in a scripting language, so everything(!) is scriptable, not just
a few interfaces published by the programmer.
The Python language is easy to learn, as most script languages are. I'm not
that familar with AutoLisp, but Python can
be used even for larger projects.
