   CYCAS  is  a 2D + 3D CAD/Architecture program for Amiga
   Computer.

   CYCAS was developed for all those people  who  want  to
   design, represent,  showcase and build architecture.

   Cycas   adheres   to   the   philosophy  of  simulating
   architectural  drawing  using  a  conventional  drawing
   board  as closely as possible, so that the draftsman is
   not faced with working methods that  are  untypical  of
   his trade.
