Re: EHP External Hardware Proposal

Matt,
Interesting, I just spent 15 seconds on this page

http://www.iges5x.org/mission.htm#whydo

Third line form the bottom reads

"IGES 5.0 was the last non-copyrighted version of the standard. "

So as it is a NON-COPYRIGHTED standard, it should be available for anyone that is interested.

Which then begs the question why does the G-COde standard cost $65.-

I'm not making an point here, for observation only !
