luis,
www.artofcnc.ca has done it with Mach1 and has sold more than
several hundred copies. His program runs on XP and Win2K. If you
have to ask how to do this kind of thing you probably can't. A
working program would take a couple of man years. If your looking
for a solution buy Mach1. If you want to find out how its done there
are a couple of shareware programs out there with source. Do a
search of this archive for visual basic. This came up a month or so
back.
