In fact, it was purpose-built for that task. But, the user interface is VERY much less user-friendly than even the first version of EMC from 1997, and I don't have a paper tape punch to punch my G-code on. So, I was VERY happy to move up to EMC on a PC, and also to get a much more reliable CNC system by moving away from the aged, creaky control.
