For an AutoCAD equivalent, please install and try "qcad" from within
the repositories.




Code:
--------------------
    sudo apt-get install qcad
--------------------




What is Multisim?



Your TI software should run fine through WINE! (My TI-92 software ran
great in Hoary! - I don't have it anymore though! - So can't speak for
Dapper! - But it should work as well!)
