Rich, Yes, I realize that LazyTurn will become a licensed product at some point. It's working pretty well for me and looks like it will be worth it.
And, I know what you say is true, about the level of function, support and documentation for this kind of software. I'm working with Mach3 because it looked best, not perfect. The quality of Mach3 implies that Art et al. want it to be as good as possible, and this effectively invites complaints when problems are found. If I thought the product was a lost cause, I wouldn't be posting.
Thanks,
Dave
