Re: Conversational CNC

Bill,

Haas resently paid Hurco some big bucks in a patent law settlement to
use conversational programming on their controls :~) Seems Hurco has
some patents on the machine side of conversational programming.

Funny thing - The Haas website does not mention this.



There a few PC based conversational programs out there. I will not
shamlessly plug my conversational "Lathe Quick Code" software.
Contact me offlist if you what to learn more about it.
