This is slightly off topic, but does impact Linux, I think. In trying to dig up info on Microstation for Linux I've been told that neither of the above are fully supported in any OS other than Wintel: "only available under the Wintel OS's due the full implementation of the Parasolid and Java kernals (both would not fully be supported in other OS's)." I regret that I can not fully grasp what this means. If it is true would it be adviseable to pass this seeming Linux deficit on to the Linux developers, or maybe not. I might suppose it to be inadviseable. Any thoughts particularly from those who really know Linux.
