Version 12 for DOS was already becoming old when I first learned how to use it
in 1995. So where could I be expected to go out today and buy a licensed copy?

LOL, and right now it's NOT being used, because I can't get it to run on my
computer, thus I posted the OT message here. So Autodesk temporarily wins.
