RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Windows PC as CNC controller

HI Chris,

Hear! Hear!

Very well put, you've made all the points I like to make. It's the journey,
not the ultimate destination. Enjoy the waypoints!

Best success on your endeavor. Maybe I'll get around to writing a
controller for windoz someday! I wrote STEP4 for DOS. Learned a lot!
