RE: emc

M sentiments exactly.

I'm building a CNC benchtop mill, ground-up, and my biggest dilemma is what
controller to use. I've been wanting to go with Indexer, but the lack of an
acceptable g-code frontend is the hurdle. EMC sounds like to much of a
headache to even think about. I checked out your website on what you've
done, and I'd like more info if possible. What version of Indexer are you
using? Can I check out a demo? What's the price?

Thanks in advance,
Carlos Guillermo
