KCam3

I am not easily moved to make a comment to a list.

About two months ago a newbie to the list asked about mills and
software to get started, and being an obsevant lurker noticed someone
mentioned KellyCam.

I have since been trialing this software (freeware at the moment) and
feel that it is in a condition (ver 3.09) which deserves a mention
here, and to go and have a look at it. In my opinion it is really
well suited to 2d milling, but I am very inexperienced so my opinion
may not count!

The software takes a HPGL, DXF or GCode, and will show the possible
result in a plot window. It drives directly Step/Direction on the
parallel port which is easy to set up.

The site is located at http://www.kellyware.com/kcam/kcam.html . It
costs nothing for a look and so far what I have been impreesed by
what I have found.
