Fred,

Thanks for offering to help. I think we should use NIST as
a repository for the test data, the "how to" documents and
the "lessons learned" documents.

One of the items we need to discuss is whether we are going to deploy
via the "high end" on 5-axis machines using tool paths 
and TCP programming, or via the "low end" using features and generative
programming. Maybe we do both.

Can we have the call on Friday at 2PM Eastern? 

Martin
