[Dave Loffredo]

The STEP-NC Explorer is now on the website for free download.  Try
it out for desktop viewing of AP-238 geometry, machining workplans,
features, tool requirements, GD&T and more.  The installer, as well a
web tour are at the URL below:

The STEP-NC Explorer uses STIX for easy access to the STEP-NC data.
STIX is open source, the new STIX COM component is great for Visual
Basic, while the STIX C++ library works well for traditional apps.

The latest version of STIX is also ready for download.  This release
adds GD&T support and corrects bugs discovered while building the COM
interface.  You can find the latest source code as well as news,
instructions, and more on the STIX home page:

Thank you to everyone who provided such helpful feedback!  It is
wonderful to see so much interest!

                                                - Dave
