J-Have you got any insight into how we might lobby for allowing the use of our AutoPAD w/ the Unix Rel9 on Sun machines? We get the Apad from Kurta and they say we have to talk to Sun to find out the address they devote to the mouse port and get Autodesk to tell us how to emulate the Sun mouse. The idea here is that the Sun/acad user can use our AutoPAD for his dwgs but when he goes back out to the Sun environment, he has to switch back to the Sun "optomouse" and get his desk all cluttered. I heard you have a guy there named Rob't Wenig who might have some ideas about how to operate the Sun mouse on the digitizing tablets of the world-can you get him to talk to me here or call me? We thot about sticking a piece of that reflective tape into the monitor area on the digitizer but….. Any *better*ideas? Thanks Randy@avcom
