Actually, I expect there WILL be a version of AutoCAD that will run directly 
on an Amiga -- but it won't likely be running under AmigaOS and it won't be 
the result of a specific decision of Autodesk to support Amiga. My guess is 
that Autodesk will announce ports of AutoCAD to Unix sVr4 on a variety of 
ABI platforms -- with the 386 series first, followed by 68K and SPARC ports 
later in the year. If I make it to the National Design Show, I'll stop at 
the Autodesk booth and ask them aobut it.
