[K12OSN] Linux cut off

[Rob Owens]

Photoshop and Autocad 14 are both listed on this website which gives pretty specific instructions for getting programs to work under wine.  http://www.frankscorner.org/

Check it out and let me know if you have any luck.  I'm trying Autocad 14 right now, but I haven't gotten it to work right yet.  I'm getting errors saying that my dll's are incompatible with each other (and they are native dll's that I took off of an old copy of win98).
