Reports on the S/W have been decent. Personally, I dont like the GUI
design. Talk to the people at Weber and sons, makers of the
CNCcrafter machines. They (used to/still do??) use Bestsoft products.
The DOS product (for others on the list) requires a 3rd party motion
card $$). The motion library looks interesting but a little steep to
just "try out", IMO.
Hope this helps.
