>We had a very successful meeting in Dallas with several newcomers on 
>both days. At the conclusion of the meeting we agreed that there 
>should be two follow-on meetings in the first half of 2008. The 
>suggestion is for the first to show feed and speed optimization 
>using AP-238 and the second to show error correction and five axis 
>cutter compensation using AP-238. We also agreed to hold a 
>conference call at 10:30AM Eastern, 4:30PM France to review the 
>meeting results and discuss the plans for the next meetings.
>
>Airbus is going to provide the Webex site for the meeting and 
>Sandvik the dial in number. Details for both are below.
>
>There is an archive of slides and other information for the meeting 
>on the ftp site at: ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Dallas/Meeting/
>
>During the meeting we are likely to look at "Dallas_results.ppt" and 
>"Plans_for_next_meeting.ppt". We may also take a look at 
>Cross-Sections.ppt because it contains important additional 
>information on the speed and feed optimization. If you have time you 
>should also take a look at SandvikAP238DallasDemo.pdf because it is 
>an excellent portable summary of their machining and measurement 
>results, and the HiPP sub-directory because it contains many 
>important details on the priorities for measurement using STEP-NC. 
>The Traceability.zip file contains information on the traceability 
>model that will also be tested in this round.
>
>Europe and the USA have both switched their clocks to winter time.
