Code Editors revisited

Greetings all,

I finally was able to take the time to try to learn all the "Ins and
Outs" of the Code editor I purchased a while back. Seems you don't
appreciate a program until you "really" get to use it.

After looking at many of what had been occasionally recommended here, I
settled on Discriminator. http://www.cncedit.com/

It is very inexpensive, it allows for a wireframe view of the toolpath,
it is very small and fast, Allows for all kinds of Text formatting
(colors, fonts, styles used to attenuate code), supports macros, and it
has never crashed ! Some of the editors with "solids" type viewing
struck me as a lot more program than I needed. My posted files are
relatively good from my CAM programs... But there is one or two programs
that I just can't whip the post processor techniques into shape to
deliver the exact sequences I need. Discriminators Macro and Easy Text
support work great.

"Easy text" allows you to save a text file (or lots of them if you'd
like) that contains any sequence or code you would like. Simply click a
button, select the particular "file" to insert, Click "Insert" and it's
done. That is truly Easy!

I had just sent an E-mail to him to see if there are any new versions in
the works and to voice my opinion on a few buttons I would like to see
added to the toolbar. His reply was that a new version is being worked
on.

Additionally, I find it opens all kinds of other files very well. Well,
text ones anyhow. For example, Open up a Netscape Cookies.txt file in
notepad or Wordpad. What a mess ! I opened it in Discriminator and
things made perfect sense !

Discriminator is a really handy program for me. I am not related, Did
not get it for free, or any obligation to post this message. I just like
the program and am passing it along.

Thanks,
Chris Luebke
