- At a conference last week, I was talking to a SoftDesk (previously known as
- DCA) rep -- they make AutoCAD add-ons. I asked him whether some of their
- packages would work with the AutoCAD Windows extension, and he said they
- wouldn't -- BUT he also said that they would have Windows *NT* versions by
- January! Now, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to write AutoCAD add-ons for
- WIndows NT unless you had an NT version of AutoCAD to go with them... :)
