AutoCAD is available in a Presentation Manager.  It has been available
for several months.  In case you are interested, Microsoft Excel and
Aldus PageMaker have also been available for Presentation Manager for
quite some time.  Earlier this month, Microsoft Word and Lotus Freelance
Graphics were both released for Presentation Manager.  Thankfully (and
unlike Excel for PM), Word for PM is a multi-threaded application and
is FAST.

The seminal work on OS/2 is Gordon Letwin's _Inside OS/2_.  Enjoy!
