Well, Tony, as I mentioned, I don't sell Autocad and have no desire to become an Autocad dealer. I just reflect the thoughts of my clients, and they want multi-user CAD, cause they're smart enough to know that a 486/33 or 50 has lots of cycles left to spare when only one user is on it. My perspective of Autocad for XENIX is that it was put into the field with VERY little third party device support as compared to DOS. This is probably the reason sales are so poor, as UNIX is a far more robust environment than DOS. The X Window System provides a common interface that can eliminate much of the requirement for third party support. Now that X windows R4 is available, most of the limitations of R3 (including performance) are history. So I'm merely suggesting they take another look using 1991 realities and not 1989 realities as the basis of their decisions. By the way, if they were to say they've done that and I'm all wet and that Frame and Corel and Island an Arris and all the other people that support X are fools, that's their prerogative. Tom
