I have never tried to run MLCad on 2000 since I do not have it, but until now
I did not receive any hint that there are problems.
From my best knowledge I can say I did no special thing in MLCad which would
hinder it from running on 2000, beside there might be bugs showing up on 2000.

Anyway you could try to do a parallel installation of 2000 first before
actually migrating any previous installations ....
I cannot imagine that 2000 has no Dos-Prompt at all but it might have that of
Windows NT. LDraw/Ledit run without any problems on NT since it doesn't
directly access specific hardware ...

that mean it can't emulate a command prompt environment to run LEdit??  And,
Mike - does MLCad run in 2000?  Has it been tested?

A couple of concerns before I make a serious switchover.

I actually had MLCad installed on my Windows 2000, worked fine. However, I did have trouble with L3P... But that might have been my fault... ;-) Oh! BTW Tim, you do realize you certain software might not be able to run on 2000, like certain games... (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
