I believe that this original patent is now expired. Haas got into
to trouble while the patent was still valid. There is a subsequent
patent #5453933 that would still be valid, but it is more specific
and probably easy to work around.

I grit my teeth each time I hear conversational programming around the
EMC project because of the US Patent owned by Hurco. I'm wondering how
we intend to relate to that patent and the recent enthusiasm for higher
order part program blocks like surfacing, bolt circles, and such.
