I used maxnc for a couple years, then switched to CNCpro. CNCpro is a
WORLD of difference. Much better interface, and it generates much
smoother output- the motors even sound smoother.

I was able to sell my old maxnc program on e-bay.

CNCpro has a demo version on the net, try it. It hass a very nasty limit
built in where it just stops working after about 20 commands. That was a
big pain in testing, since it took me many more commands than that to
get the config setup corret, but it was worth the hassle.

I think the other very important feature is that the author of maxnc
seems to be a very reclusinve and hard to reach person, while doug of
cncpro even answers questions on this list.
