RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Looking for a low cost CAD program for Windows XP, USB port

It is not a free driver but the demo version will allow you to process 40
jobs. This should be enough or you to be able to see the advantages of such
a solution.

The size of the demo download is in access of 25 MB. I will send you a pass
word to download it from our FTP site.

If any one wants to try it out, just send us your E-Mail address and we will
take care of it.
