Ray, Fanuc used the O word to be the program name or filename and one could be called and used by another. I could possibly find an example of the advanced (advanced as per about 10~15 years ago) capabilities of the Fanuc I used to run if you wish. The versions of the controls on two of the machines were an 11m or something like that on a horizontal machining center and a Secos II (same as a Fanuc) on a vertical mill. both were Hitachi Seiki. Both worked very well.
