gibbscam. super easy. it has some limits...but its a nice package mill and lathe both. i had problems with their customer service though... but it is easy to use..very user friendly interface..

other names...
*mastercam
*edgecam
*delcam
*i herd the new bobcad isnt to bad....(MILLING)
*i prefer unigraphics (NX) thats what i use

...just look up some names and see what they might have to offer. have them show you a demo. check prices. and see what software might fit your demands

I currently use Mastercam X2 linked with Cimco integration for gcode programming. It works great for all 2D and 3D drawings.

Mastercam here, It's a local industry standard.

(I used EasyCam Feature Cam and Gibbs in the past, they all have their problems and glitches.)

Guys I am not sure, but I think Jackson is meaning software such as Pascal (sp), C++ etc.
