ME 10 is available in a DOS version and has been available for over a year. It requires a 386, a 387, 4 MB RAM, and a high resolution video board (either an HP 82328A/82329A combo, or an IBM 8514 for PS/2 machines). It is now officially supported on HP Vectra 386's, Compaq 386's, and on IBM PS/2 386 machines (model 70 and 80). The list of supported devices is available from a local HP sales rep. It is also sold through a select number of dealers. Price is $6,495 for the software. VGA is also supported, but 640x480 is a low res monitor for serious CAD work. Mark Waite HP MDD Marketing

HP announced a port of ME10 to 80386-based PC's earlier this year, although I don't remember if they also announced shipment dates. At the time, they weren't sure if any other PCs could be supported, but they weren't hopeful. They also announced plans to make X-window versions of the ME series drawing packages available at some point, which may also be of interest. Certainly among existing Users, these plans have been known since about the start of this year, so your local HP sales office should be able to answer your questions. -- Frank Wales, Systems Manager, [frank@zen.co.uk<->mcvax!zen.co.uk!frank] Zengrange Ltd., Greenfield Rd., Leeds, ENGLAND, LS9 8DB.
