#MS-DOS
B.W. —
We have no plans currently to release an AutoCAD that supports the
Weitek, because our tests indicate that we would not realize a significant
speed increase over the 80×87 versions. We have thought about introducing
a 386-387 specific version of AutoCAD, but again, our tests indicate a
speed gain only in the vicinity of 15 to 30% We're not sure we should
commit the resources neccessary to bring a separate product (in the same way
that the Sun, VAXStation and Apollo versions are separate products) for such
a minimal increase in performance.
