Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Dolphin pricing, was Re: Software

Michael,

Is this offer still valid? If so, how do I go about buying it?

I have one of John Stevenson's licenses here (complete with token disk)
but I'd really like to have my own. John has "written" me though most
of the learning curve, and even called me once (Nottingham England to
So. California) - he is a very good friend. I am sure glad John's
"small son" knows how to customize the post.

Is there any documentation in the "package" that will help me learn how
to do that?

Thanks
Fitch
