What happened to Autocad on Suns?
I was expecting it to continue to work as long as we had Athena suns.
The message is quite cryptic and recent:
[portnoy!jhawk] ~autocad_v13/bin> cat autocad
#!/bin/sh
echo ""
echo " October 1, 2007"
echo ""
echo "We regret that Autocad will no longer run on"
echo "Athena as the binaries are too old. This product"
echo "has not been available on UNIX platforms for a very"
echo "long time and we kept it running as long as we could."
echo ""
I don't recall seeing any mail to software-announce.
Did I miss it?
Is this just a problem with the license key? I'm sure that
I could produce a hack around that. I assume the old binaries
are still floating around the autocad_v13 locker?
I know that I have code that depends on being able to run Autocad
on Athena, and I don't know where else I'd be able to run it
(are there other options for AutoLISP)??
Thanks.
