Gary,,
WHICH version of Turbocnc did you download???

If it is the "official 3.1a" version from the website, I believe there are
known bugs in the G02/03 coding.

You need version 3.25 or a variant of that to do proper G03/03 codes and it
can be had from the

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/turbocnc/

group in the files section. If you are not a registered user, of course you
will have to do that also.
