I always thought that )AutoCAD was some sort of shareware, rather than a serious or )'proprietary' programme. Cancel all requests!! ) Gerald. I remember from 1990 that AutoCad was elaborate but high-priced, $3000 retail. Kentucky Polytechnic Institute (KPI, now defunct) got a bunch of copies for their CAD lab at $2100 each. There was a much lower-priced ($150?) EasyCad by Evolution Computing, but that was better than ten years ago. I don't know what would be available now, or if there is anything CAD-related for Linux. I guess both the price and learning curve were much more reasonable with EasyCad than with AutoCad. Is there any current AutoCad for DOS? How would AutoDesk assess the price plus penalty for someone caught using an unlicensed copy of a no-longer-supported version?
