Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re:Bobcad 17 Review

You are CORRECT about the copyright Fred! But it still doesn't hurt to
place a notice on the web site. Easiest way to do this is by placing it in
the section where the webmaster information is. That way when ever there
are changes, thecopyright notice doesn't have to change.
