Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] MINC S/D or alternatives?

Hi Cliff,

I haven't heard of MINC99. Is there a site for Digital Systems? do they
still do CNC programs? (that's the problem, right?). Engraving
sequential serial numbers sounds like a "batch" problem. I'd suggest
getting a BASIC (language) engrave program, and altering it to produce
sequential serial numbers.
