**What this is:** One public English **index** page on **softwaretraining.co.za**, an AM.CO.ZA training-video project ([achievement.co.za directory](https://achievement.co.za/) describes SoftwareTraining as an AM.CO.ZA project of short problem-solving CNC software videos). **InkRIP is AM software** (AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Easy RIP). **This page is an INDEX**, not a new how-to video part: it is the Before Starting mini-series video index (where to find what) with hotlinks to Parts 1-2 of *this* series (About InkRIP / Control Software).
