Re Dolphin: Michael has just released another version called hobbymaster. Admin posted a link to the site yesterday. About $600 complete. From what I've seen in various lists and forums, when it comes to cadcam in these price ranges, Michael Milligan of Dolphin and Fred Smith of Imsrv (DeskCNC and related products) both do an excellent job of monitoring the lists and providing answers that show an indepth knowledge of their products. I don't think you could go wrong with either one. Added: As Gerry mentioned, sheetcam does look very promising. I've downloaded and played with the various releases, and the progress Les has made on this program in such a short time is really amazing. For 2.5 D routing, milling, or burning of sheet products without all the complications of features which go unused in this type work, I think it could emerge as a real leader. From never having seen the program, it took me less than ten minutes to import a DXF, define a tool, and generate the code. This says a lot about the ease of use, because my normal acceleration rate on a new piece of software will normally put me running neck and neck with Ted the Turtle.
