Good luck finding someone that even kept anything related to version

  1. It was the worst version of AutoCAD ever made. Even Autodesk acknowledged that a while back.

Yes, R13 has its faults, no doubt. But you can get it to run and do a very good job. I had to change some LISP routines to make them run right in R13, and had to change them back again in R14. Nevertheless, it never ran so bad that I became frustrated with it. If we were all in R13 right now, I wouldn't mind a bit. I had very little problems with it, and if I did run into something, I took care of it with customization. No big deal. The problems are given too much credit.

Your being quite kind, Bill. In the 90's I moved to an office running 13 and couldn't believe the reduced productivity. I uninstalled it on my station and ran r12-win, and made them all look bad. I don't know what the issues were with it, but I wasn't into lisp yet.

14 was a beautiful relief when it came out.

Thanks for the info. I'm still looking for the key if anyone wants to = shoot one over to my yahoo email address I would be forever grateful.
