Only the Amaya OS can interact and run the machines. It is the Amaya Operating System. Think of it as windows to your embroidery machine. Other software can however be used for digitizing. Think of it like Photoshop on windows. There are a bunch of digitizing programs out there.... Embird, Corel DrawWings, Wilcom and others. You can digitize in any program you want and as long as it can save out as a file that the os can read - you are in good shape. Hope that clears things up a bit. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
