I was wondering if AutoCad had been ported to OS/2 yet and if a
multiuser AutoCad environment can be created by networking OS/2
machines together with LAN Manager.
BTW, any good texts out on OS/2 or LAN Manager? I have a brief
chapter in my UNIX NETWORKING book (not the Stevens book) that I
plan to review. Any other helpful hints?
Please don't torch me right away. I'm new to this OS.
Thanks!

It has been available for several months. In case you are interested, Microsoft Excel and Aldus PageMaker have also been available for Presentation Manager for quite some time. Earlier this month, Microsoft Word and Lotus Freelance Graphics were both released for Presentation Manager. Thankfully (and unlike Excel for PM), Word for PM is a multi-threaded application and is FAST. >BTW, any good texts out on OS/2 or LAN Manager?
