I wish vendors would sometimes just quite trying and release either a binary
or source form of old
software (aka abandonware). Sigh....

Even if the package worked on the PC platform instead of the Amiga you would
have problems selling it in a saturated market these days. Your money would
be better spent reselling another CAD package and offering training classes.
I think this package goes for $45 a pop on ebay these days from the owner,
so you would have to sell 1000 copies to break even when all is said and
done (meaning 4 copies to each of the 250 hard core 3D designers that still
use an Amiga today).
