Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Cam software was: CNC Retrofit of Smithy 1324 CNC

Like I've said before, "I have no axe to grind". I'm not associated with
BobCAD in any way, except being a satisfied user. I'm not trying to "push"
any of my "used" software off onto anybody. A question was asked, and I
responded. I didn't "flame" anybody by be-littling (is that a word?) their
products. If I have "constructive" criticism, I make it constructive. I'm
not snipping any of the previous thread, so anyone can see my point, here.
