Hey Mike,
Dolphin has scored again. From one person asking for a feature to it
being implemented in about two weeks has got to be good news for it's
users. In the last month we have had Face milling and Thread milling
added, all as free upgrades and still keeping the program simple to
use.
No wonder people are moving over to Dolphin, - thanks Mike.
