I bought a copy of this when I first started out in CNC. The same
version you obviously had. I didn't have any software troubles with
it but all computers are different. It gives agood baic grounding to
CNC but some of the command I would have expected like G43 G44 tool
lenth offset aren't covered. perhaps the lastest Version 2 address's
this.
