I wish you luck in getting support!
Luck won't help, but community involvement would. Likewise, if anyone needs any software that is not available for Linux, then write to the manufacturer and request it. Then let me know, and I will write to the manufacturer as well.
I admire your zeal but I'm curious as to how many responses you get from manufacturers even acknowledging your mail. Dassault Systèmes (Solidworks) was one such company that I've written an email to (many moons ago) regarding a linux port with no response whatsoever.
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. :) -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
