conversions where I worked. They are conversational and for short
run or prototype they could not be beat. All you need to do is follow
the menu and answer the questions! After years of using them, it
sounded like a steady stream of beeps (beeps everytime you press a
key). Mill and drill programs only took minutes to write! I really
think that it would great if someone would (could?) write such a
program! Thanks! Rick
Ps Cannot really remember any disadvantages.
