Absolutely not. I see CPNC doing Conversational Programming very well,
but not doing conventional CAM.CNC at all. This is a DIFFERENT tool. I
make no claim to BETTER, or DO IT RIGHT. Neither is RIGHT, each fits a
class of work better than the other.

I see CPNC aimed at a one-off job, at repair or modification work, and
at the Home Shop guy trying to make models.

On the other hand, I did decide to add a Gcode object to CPNC that was
not in my VB version or in AcuRite. It does allow one to drop in a block
of Gcode. Under EMC I assume we will be able to feed this to the emc
interpreter, but on a Win system with siple step type control it may not
be supported at all.
