Hmmm, TurboCad, no... you mean through WINE?

I have tried in vain to get AutoCad 2002 and LT configured under WINE but it's just not worth it. I have a duel boot machine and do a lot of Acad so it's a back and fourth thing. Really, unless I need to use acad I don't even go into windows much anymore.

I have Q,Cad (yuck) and VariCad (just OK) on my Linux box and they do OK for small things but don't come close to Autodesk. I even tried to Beta Test BricsCads (so called) Linux version of Intellicad 5. but It's not native and also works under Wine... It's a farily good program and can read .dwg files but still, not much good if it does'nt work.

You can try to run TurboCad under WINE but I suggest running the setup program from WINE rather than just trying to get the Windows Executable to work.

GOOD LUCK!!!

KC
