Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Cutviewer program

Gordon,

Gcode files are standard .TXT files! Make sure you didn't write your
file with a "word processor". We have the same limitation with writing
software. Funny control characters creep in. I call my files .CNC, and
they worked fine! (until eval expired). You should not have to
"convert" anything. You might want to look at the binary of the file,
using debug (DOS). Look for "extra" control codes.
