http://wiki.winehq.org/LinuxApplicatonRequestSurvey says that Autocad is the #2 most requested application on Linux. The latest version might be a challenge to support, since it depends on .net 2.0, but we could start by supporting older versions. http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=86 shows that R14 ran ok at one point, and I've seen a tutorial for how to run 2000 on wine, so there's hope.
I couldn't find any source of Autocad R14 or '97, but looking on amazon.com I think books with trial CD-ROMs are available from autocad 2000 on (if only for LT and other hacked down variants, but I'm not picky).
Before I go wild buying old autocad books from Amazon, does anyone out there have old copies of Autocad (full or trial) they'd be willing to send me for testing?
Thanks, Dan
