How to run AutoCAD on the HP unix systems at ECN - OU
I appologize for the inconvenience you may have with the network.
Be assured it is not your fault that you are having problems.
Everybody has the same problems - only some are luckier.
Neither is it AutoCAD which is causing these problems.
It is the set-up we are running the program in.
