Win2K & Acad2K

indyxiii
I'm looking at moving some of our AutoCAD 2000 systems over to run under Win2K and have just found out that there are some issues with it. At the moment there looks to be a problem with plotting (as staded on the Autodesk page) but Autodesk currently have a Beta patch in test for fixing this.
