Eli:
Panacea *is* arguably the leading ADI developer. Depends on how you
measure, but they can make a very good case to be the biggest.
Also, Panacea is *on schedule* regarding their development. I saw the Beta
version of the software tonight (I was in New Hampshire), and it looks on
track for delivery in a couple of weeks.
The entire R12 ADI situation is a mess. The responsibility is Autodesk's –
they shipped R12 earlier than the ADI developers kit was ready. Panacea
chose to take the time to make their drivers right the first time. Most
others have had to dribble out bug fixes as they found problems.
Look – Panacea will bend over backwards to help you out. So give them a
break. I've got no axe to grind in this – I'm an assistant sysop here, and
a contributing editor for CADalyst. I just don't want you to think Panacea
is screwing around.
