Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Finally back~!

Hi Weyland,

I have I think some of the original DRO files, 49K for dro.exe, big 671K
DRO_PLUS.EXE, which might be a zip, it that is what you need? Give me a
file list, I'll see if they match.

QEDS, HEDS, just different versions of encoders, cheaper/different
packaging, different resolutions. Should work!
