I've not been advised that Mach3 licences will not continue to be
available ... yet ;) but we use an older version of MAch3 anyway so
don't need 'support' as such. <<
That was part of the plan years ago... so obviously that has changed. I think
a lot of that
was being driven by Chinese import machines arriving in the US with fraudulent
Mach3 licenses.
Lester, When I thought of "support", I really didn't have you in mind. :-)

Small mills was always Mach3's strong point.
Years ago I tried to do a lathe with Mach3 and that is when I went to
LinuxCNC, then called EMC2.
Mach3 just didn't work.
Earlier versions of Turn did some of the job, but then the first
iteration of Mach4 was being proposed as the next step. That version
never reached production, so we now have the new Mach4.
I thought that Mach3 license distribution was going to be cut off in
favor of Mach4 as they didn't want to keep supporting Mach3.
I just found the recent specs for Mach3 and 4 and apparently Mach4 now
supports PLC ladder logic as well! I did not know that.
That's used in most of the commercial CNC machines I have worked on.
