Just a little note...
Having switched to Linux and pretty much all the basics working I started
looking for alternatives to MLCAD and various other Windows programs...
After some looking I found nothing and therefore decided to try and get
MLCAD to work with Wine, the Windows libraries for Linux (and various other
OS'es, for the purists)
Result : It worked, no hassle!
I downloaded the latest version of Wine, of 20030408, did a regular install
and without altering any configuration I was able to open op most of my
LDRAW files, like my BR211 diesel engine. Still need to finetune some
things to improve speed and font quality a bit more, but it's very useable.
And best of all, it's hardly slower (some things even feel faster!)
So for all of those running an alternative OS, there's something to cheer
about!

| Hi, this is nice to hear. Maybe you could write a more detailed description what is needed to run MLCad on Linux? This way I could make this information public in a seperate Linux section on my host, and even more users are able to use MLCad. (...) (22 years ago, 25-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
