[cad-linux] Re: Wine and cad

although i'm a big fan of Wine, the end goal of most on this list is the use 
of native applications on linux.  even still i maintain some how-to on what 
worked for me.  also if you goto groups.google.com and search the Wine 
newsgroup for "R14" & "how-to" you will find that some people are working on  
autocad as well.

i've posted my successes(but not failures) with Wine in the Wine section of 
the cad-tastrafy page and the wine applications database.  i've recently been 
having trouble with intellicad and mouse movement in the drawing area.  but 
had been using it the previous 1 1/2 years with great success.  i'm working 
on isolating the problem and updating the how-to as necessary.  currently i 
think it is not wine itself that is to blame but one of the libs that it 
depends on.  i have little evidence of this, just a gut feeling.

i've got the disks for Vellum, but for some reason i can not read them 
correctly.  could i talk you out of a sceen shot for cad-tastrafy/wine?

there are many people on comp.cad.solidworks that would love to hear when you 
get it to work.  be sure to let us know.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of DOS,
and danced the skies on Linux silvered wings.
