RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] DOS/EMC aka DeskNCrt now freely available

My suggestion is if you like what it does step up to the full EMC. You will
get everything that is in the DOS/EMC and a multitasking graphical front end
along with the ability to network the system to other computers. Makes it
real easy to transfer those big files.

Same cost as DeskNCRT, free.
