Re: Windows 9x DRO software

Thanks for the program William. The only thing I can think of that
would be helpful, besides the suggestions already posted, would be
the inclusion of Tom's excellent work with the supporting
calculation software he included in his DRO+ code. If you feel a
need to excercise more of your programming muscle, how about taking
on the incorporation of Tom's DRO with a CAM (DESKNC or DANCAM)
program. That would give all of us chipmakers a closed loop CNC
system without the headaches still associated with EMC. Oh, can
you include the option of degrees of rotation for a rotary table in
your modified code? That would be very nice. Thanks again for
rescuing all of us!!!!!!!!--- In CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO@egroups.com, William
