You don't want to go back to the windows app, or you don't want to |

I'm using a few old windows apps where there is no good OS |
| 26 |
alternative within a vmware/Win XP setup. This works fine for me for |

I looked for the same sort of floor planning software a few years |
| 30 |
ago. I found nothing at that time. |
