I wanted to share this with everyone who ownes an older (1984 and older) Orac lathe. This is the offline editor and loader program that allows you to connect a computer to the RS323 port. It allows you to program and upload your programs to your lathe. I hope this helps someone out.

Be sure to read the install instructions included with the zip file.

Provided as is as I haven't had a chance to play with it.

I'm guessing this is an image of a DOS booting floppy disk ?
There is an autoexec.bat on there which sets up the com port and some other things before running orac.com

Maybe worth bearing in mind if you intend running it from a newer OS

Cheers for the upload :D
