Commercial software

To Matt and List: I'm new here....guilty as charged!
My experience with Bestsoft has been the same as what you have shown
from others. I kind of made the assumption that I was the only person
Mr Bestsoft didn't want to deal with...usually the lack of interest in
support becomes obvious AFTER one purchases something. Thank you
very much for taking the time to pull together those posts.

Guess its time to start learning Linux and EMC...

Two questions regarding the above (apologies in advance if they're
silly questions!)

1. Can a machine control "soft" PLC be incorporated with EMC to run
other machine control such as auto toolchangers etc? Or does EMC have
this built in?
2. Is it possible to put together some of the pretty screens for
talking to EMC sort of like one sees on commercial CNC? Whats the
programming language that would typically be used to do this?

Thanks,
Jon Pritchard
