Peter, In December Richard Nolen sent me a beautiful 14 page color brochure on the Unix XCAD product. It looks very impressive. He said it would run under DESQview/X which is an XWindows system for DOS PC's. Do you know anything about DESQview/X? One of the nice things for Amiga XCAD users is the command syntax is exactly the same. So if your business warranted a new file server or you needed to use one of the new modules such as Piping and Instrumentation it would be a very small learning curve to jump to the Unix version(UNix and DOS not withstanding). BTW, do know how much the list price of 999.00 in Pounds is in US currency? I hope you come here to the forums on CIS often. I have been looking for a contact for Amiga CAD in Europe. Do you know aything about a program from Germany called MaxonCAD? Are there many Amiga CAD users in Europe? How are you involved in the CAD industry? (So many questions from this snoopy American! 8^)……) I hope your review goes well and that I can get hold of a copy of it, when published! Thanks for the post! Tom
