STEP Tools gave a demonstration of the STEP-NC Machine system running on 
the Okuma simulator. The simulator has sufficient power to run the 
machining simulation in real time.

We discussed how to make the simulation more user friendly. STEP Tools 
will implement buttons that can be used to load and run a program from 
the touch screen.

A recording of the call is on the ftp site.
