I do this kind of thing often. No idea how well it works.
However, on the Solidworks front - one of my buddies happens to be a VP of sales there. I called him this evening and had a chat. I explained to him that it might be beneficial for them to introduce a Linux version for those people not on Windows.
He said he'd pass it by the board, but no promises.
Worth a shot. :)
Next time you see him, let him know that a native Linux port would be nice, but that I for one would settle for official Wine support. That is exactly the reason that Wine was released as 1.0 instead of continuing on in beta forever: so that there would be a stable branch to which software houses could compile their applications. I don't even care if I have to buy a new license for Linux / Wine support. I just care that it works. Let him know, seriously. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
