Well it was not obvious to me. I see you have now added your
copywrite notice. A wise move considering how strongly you feel
about the contents of the page. However i still think on the top of
the page you should put a notice stating that you do not want the
information on this page reposted anyware else.

If i understand you on what may and may not be asked about Vector-Cam
i have made a list. Please confirm or correct it.

1) Questions on pricing are a no-no on the list.

2) General Vector-Cam questions are ok to ask on the list.

3) Specific operating questions on Vector-Cad should be asked in the
Vector-Cam forum. (you should probably post the URL again).



Questions i would like answers to.

1) If we have questions on using the demo version of Vector-Cam, can
and were should we ask the questions.

2) If Vector-Cam is purchased. What do you get as in
documentation. Do you get printed manuals and tutorials.

3) I have very little mechanical CAD experance (have extensive PCB
and schematic CAD experance) and almost no CAM experance. Is Vector-
Cam meant for people like me.

Thank you for DDE explanation. It was simple and easy to understand.
