Looking through the  archives, it seems that quite a number of people use TurboCad.  I am in the  market for a CAD program for my aircraft project and other uses.  My  question is this: will the earlier versions of the program (lots of ver. 10  for sale) available on Ebay function properly on the Win 98 machine that I  have in the airplane shop at home?  I would like to install the program on  both the Win98 machine at home and the newer XP machine here at the  business.  I currently do not have internet access at home.  The  materials on the various Turbocad websites deal with far more in depth issues  than basic compatibility.  

 Any help from the  List much appreciated.

  

 Regards,

Hi Tom,

The answer to that question is yes.  You have very good compatibility 

from Win 98 and XP where TurboCAD is used.

I've had it from much earlier versions and have never had issues with it.

I had TC v. 7 ( which is way overkill for  any wire schematic) running on my Win 98 machine and it liked XP just fine  when I upgraded my OS. I just upped TC from v. 7 to 11.2 (Ebay, $25) and I don't  see a whole lot of difference between the two when dealing with 2D drawing.  Version 11.x  ( and maybe others) allows you to bypass installing the 3D  portion if you just need 2D. 

  

 My impression of TC, over the years, is that  it is very stable and adaptable, and I would bet dollars to donuts that  later versions will run just fine on W98 in 2D mode.
