- There is a patch out from Autodesk to update the pharlap DOS extender
- to allow AutoCAD R12 to run in a full screen DOS window. It is BETA
- and also requires that the service pack for OS/2 be installed.
-
- I have just started to use it and it seems to work. It did hang OS/2
- when I tried to go back to the WPS (with autoCAD still running) by
- using ctrl-esc but I may have the autocad screen drivers not set
- right. I am using 8514 1024x768 resolution. The speed of autocad
- seemed pretty good, possibly no different from DOS, but I have done no
- real benchmarks yet.
-
- I put the patch on hobbes under /pub/uploads. It is file os2acad.zip.
-
- My OS/2 system is now complete! :-)
