It's good to know that any minimum wage clerk can do the job with
5 minutes training.

Can you still get a seat of CADDS III or AD-2000 from 30 to 40
years ago?

So you EXPORT to DP Technology Esprit 2010
(NOT an integrated CAD/CAM system) AND/OR
add a bit of DelCAM as third party software to SW!!!
Again NOT an integrated CAD/CAM system.
You could easily have version conflicts too.
Plus upgrade paths .. etc.
