Dear Jpgordon, Based on your relevant policies and guidelines, I do not understand how my statement violated any of your relevant policies and guidelines. I have served as a Computer Scientist (with a Ph.D. degree) for some 20 years now, and as researcher with many peer-reviewed publications...so I am familiar with stating facts objectively. I also serve as a peer-reviewer myself on the editorial boards of many medical journals. I have no conflict of interests but simply desired to share the fact that a previously existing CAD system, using Pascal on a microcomputer along with many educational articles on CAD design and software existed prior to AutoCAD--which ultimately used C+ (a langauge very much related to Pascal), also on a microcomputer (IBM-compatible). Sincerely, Gary
