Hiho Carlos, didn't I send you a demo a while back?

Art's stuff is always top-notch, isn't it. I've been thinking about getting
his update myself. Is the G-code reader part of the Indexer itself now? I
wondered for a long time why he didn't do that sooner, it seems to me it
would make much more flexible. What sort of projs are you doing? This all
figure into your real work? I got lucky enough a while back to find a real
nice niche and have been plenty busy, too much so myself to spend enough
time programming. I just get a few hours a week usually, with the job shop
in basement and the family taking the biggest slice. But anyway I seldom
use all the stuff I have working in the software right now. HAGO!
