Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Old Vector CAD/CAM on Windoz 7?

Dave,

Seems to be appropriate for older programs in general. I think that's
what the "compatibility" stuff is all about. But I just got the W 7, so
I don't know that much about it.

I'm really not wanting to buy a full copy. And updates seem to cost as
much as what I paid originally.
