[TriLUG] linux apps on desktop that support *.mdb, *.vsd, *.dwg and *.mpp

[Jim Ray]

Yeah, so far, grandma gonna have to compose a db of choice on linux from
some kinda *.txt export on the mdb stuff.  Grandma gonna also use kivio
for those visio thingies.  Grandma thinks there's a component of
OpenOffice with a project-like behavior.

Grandma is SOL on those AutoCAD files.
