One of our technologists is a GenericCad betatester. He also is an Amiga fan. When asked about developing GenericCad for the Amiga, the factory replied whith the statement : "The Amiga is too slow for Cad applications." (Really!) We have been in touch with the rep, explaining that this statement is obviously incorrect & invited him to call Commodore for information about the Amiga. I would also like to do a demo for the rep, but wish someone better qualified would take up the task. ======================================================= Kent Polk - Southwest Research Institute {cs.utexas.edu, gatech!petro sun!texsun}!swrinde!kent kent@swrinde.nde.swri.edu ------------------------------------------------------- "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing" =======================================================
