I do not think it would fit well into a mill package. All of the objects
done in milling- lines, circles, hole arrays, rectangles, text, dontmake
much sense in lathe work.

A CPNC like package to operate a lathe should be a possible package.
CPturn anyone?

Remeber also, my vision of CPNC is not just a design package, but a
fully integrated machine controller. You dont design it on CPNC then
move it to another machine, it all runs under CPNC. I think this is a
critical difference, and one most conventional CNC users dont quite get.
A person that first learned on a system like AcuRite would understand
this completely.
