CAD is an important piece of the history of computer graphics, being the market that dominated the development of new hardware prior to the explosion of PC gaming in the 90s. Archiving the software has proved more elusive than documentation at this point; much of this high end CAD software was deployed only on the workstations/minicomputers that were sold along with the software and they often have licensing schemes that prevent the software from executing indefinitely. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
