[cad-linux] Varkon

I have played with Varkon off and on in the past and thought it was kind 
of interesting.  It never really held my ineterest, because I didn't 
really know how to use it to it's fullest.  It was fun playing with the 
MBS language, but I didn't dig into it very deep.
I know that Varkon is really a framework for making CAD programs and can 
be altered to do a lot of things.
Now, my question:
Is there anyone out there using Varkon to do serious work?  Are there 
any commercial companies that have used Varkon to make meaningful 
CAD/CAM programs?
My interest is more toward the CAM side than anything.  I am a 
manufacturing engineer in a place that makes parts on CNC lathes and 
mills.   I like programs that give their users flexibility with 
programming extensions (like Lisp in ACAD) and the choices involved with 
altering the user interface. That's why I hold out hope for open source 
CAD/CAM  (along with the hope that Autocad doesn't buy everyone off and 
put them out of business) .

Thanks,
Dan
