"...So you heard the rant on background editing with PCMCIA card..."
Yes. It was a known issue (but not to me). I don't know if there is
any resolution yet. My understanding is that there were 3 people that
experienced it. There is a workable solutin that involves some
parameter changes and the purchase of the Background Edit Option.8-/
Don't shoot the messenger. <grin>

"...G12-G13 issue..."
I was unaware of that. I have a G12-G13 MACRO that I give to customers
that ask for it. In all honesty RARE is the company with a $500k HMC
that they manually write code for and request it. Usually it's asked
for my companues with VMC's and small shops. Nearly all the companies
I know of use a CAD/CAM system. It's just a little more productive
that way IMHO.

As a customer he asked me the kinds of questions I like as an AE -
challenging, ones that make me do some digging and looking, and cause
me to think about things a little differently ON THE MACHINE SIDE.
IMHO he does not know enough about Mastercam to give the kinds of
*****sments he is giving, again only IMHO.
