Except you are not comparing a package that does the same job. Dolphin *IS* one
of the few packages that will produce good gcode for lathe CNC and it's wire EDM
code is quite productive as well. But there are a number of packages that will
do a better job at the mill gcode. At the price of the offer it is worth a close
look if you are heavily into Lathe CNC, but it's drawing interface is somewhat
'quirky' and I finally gave up on it and switched back to TurboCAD for the
drawing package. At one time it WAS one of the few CAM suites available.

It would be useful to get some feedback from current users as to how they find
the specialist sections ... at full price I could not justify a copy and even at
the offer price it's strugling against the competition. ;)
