I noticed on Doug Yeager's site (home of CNC-Pro)
http://www.yeagerautomation.com/uses.htm
he says his DOS program can control lathes
(and 3 & 4 axis milling machines).

Perhaps Doug would like to explain more fully what the
CNC-Pro's capabilities are for Lathes (lets assume the spindle has a
rotary encoder with or without an index pulse):
- can it do threading?
- can it do constant surface speed cutting (ie is there some output
to vary the spindle speed?)
- etc

I'm looking forward to the info...
