Autocad 2004 has recently been released.  I will soon be using it as we
have a maintenance agreement with autodesk for Land Desk Top which
incorporates autocad- the next version of which (LDT) is due out anytime
soon.  Unfortunately the goal posts for wine have just moved again...  I
have heard a whisper that at least some of the auotdesk engineers are
not unaware of wine- but that may be nothing more than speculation on
the part of the dealer who services our maintenance agreement. Time will
tell.


I have just downloaded qcad to try it out for some drawings of my own
but there is no way it will get anywhere near autocad for a long, long
time if at all.  The functionality of autocad is just soooooo deep.
