AutoDesk now offers a free 15 day demo CD of AutoCad. I hope some of the talanted wine developers take the opportunity to get the CD and try to get it to work.

In my opinion there are two windows application that are more important than others and that is AutoCad and Quark express. Linux does not have good alternatives to theese, and for instance AutoCad users are engineers which are interested in technics and I now several that would like to ha linux at work but cant since it cant run AutoCad.

Great, it sounds as if it can be working seriously sooon.
Is there any way a non wine developer can help with point 3 in the HOWTO ? = (ie finding why ARX apps hang). Solving that will solve a lot of the other = points and it will be closer to wider usage.
- Open SYSTEM.REG file in ~/.wine and remove ALL lines with
LOADCTRLS=3D....... and save it. Don't ask why, I dunno but this prevents loading of an ARX app that hangs Autocad.
The FONTS issue is a one time problem, and the regen might not be to hard t= o solve. (dirty hack, somehoe regen at each mouserelease).

Once upon a time I got Autocad R13 to work, only toolbars and screenrefresh was not working to 100%, then it broke completely, and 10 months ago when I tested with AutoCad 2000 it was still broken.=20 =20 Has anyone done any testing recently ? =20 AutoCad and Quark express are two very important pieces of software for wine, since they both lack useable alternatives natively built for Linux.
