Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Windows Real-time

Art,

Sounds interesting! a systray device? Do you plan to publish it's
interface and/or it's workings? It could open the door for windows
controller programs. I tend to keep down in the driver/BIOS level code,
and it's been probably 6 years since I wrote any thing for windows.
Guess I'd have to investigate these "systray devices".

Nice Work!
