We are using AutoCAD on Suns.  Because everybody here uses the X
Window System, it is annoying to us that AudoCAD still runs under
SunView, Sun's old window system.

As some of you might have heard, future versions of SunOS will no
longer support SunView, so I hope there are plans to have an X version
of AutoCAD on Suns.

Does such a beast already exist for other types of machines? There are
a lot of workstations which use X as their "native" window system, so
Autodesk would miss a large market segment if not.
