Sindi,

I think you'd better check your system's clock settings. All the e-mails I get from you are dated for December 2005.

Our DOS CAD program only does VGA, and the two others I tried crash. (One
was tested by the author only in a Windows DOS box, where it works. !!!).

I found qcad, about 2MB binary with lots of libraries and fonts, but it
'needs QT', or apparently libqt.so.3 and libc6. SW71 has qt 1.45, SW81 qt
3.0. Is it enough just to copy over that one library and symlink it,
without installing 15MB or so of the whole package, or KDE itself?

This program creates DXF (vector) files, which I would need to convert to
something bitmapped to print (or maybe just do a screen capture).
vec2web can convert DXF to GIF JPEG PNG PPM PS BMP etc, but it requires QT
developer's version to compile. QCAD used it to create a parts library.

I looked at the Redhat 7.2 binary of FreeDraft engineering 2D CAD program,
the author of which recommends QCAD instead. 700K binary with two pages of
dependencies that I think are GTK (libGL, GLU, TKernel.....) also things
from xbin (libXi, libXm), libV, libVgl (not found), libglut (mesa.tgz),
libdime (not found).

There are several CAD programs based on Python, including PythonCAD (1.2MB
RPM binary). Would these be smaller than the GTK or QT varieties? We
want mainly straight lines and minimal text. tkcadvas (Python) is 46K
code.

Sketch/Skencil is apparently more of a painting program.
