To those who lament the lack of some types of professional
software
for Amiga, see the review of X-CAD in the October Amazing
Computing.  A sceptical reviewer describes it as having nearly
all of the features of AutoCAD, plus a few, and running at
a speed several times faster than AutoCAD.  Interlaced display
problems are a non-issue; there are cheap  (for a professional)
ways to fix that flicker.  Oh, and X-CAD writes AutoCAD .DXF
files,
of course.  Has anyone actually worked on a file both on an
Amiga and a DOS machine with AutoCAD?  What's the bottom line?
