Two corrections to the minutes below.<br>
<br>
1. The link to the Boeing Metal Boxy is incorrect. The text is right
but the underlying URL is wrong for some weird reason. Here is a
correct version.<br>

NIST has edited the STEP-NC setup data in Boxy so that each setup will
have the same machine coordinates when it machines the part next week.<br>

<br>
Alain Brail has made a proposal to simplify the syntax of STRL's. STEP
Tools will modify the STRL software in the STEP-NC Explorer to meet
these specifications.<br>

<br>
STEP Tools has started to update the STEP-NC Explorer to process
drilling operation data. A first prototype has been produced for
tapping operations. The prototype reads hole patterns made by the
ap238export dll for Mastercam and writes tapping codes for the Siemens
840D.<br>
