Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Huh, wanted Gcode files...??????

You are speaking of releasing through the group. I shared my changes
and they were not accepted and thus I cannot share them as I would
otherwise.

When someone says "Open Source" I think open source as in Linux and GPL,
which is "do whatever the heck you want with it, just distribute the
source." TurboCNC is NOT open source in that respect.

My additions to tcnc involved adding special <non standard> GCode
routines for milling circles and thread milling. I think that
programming a bunch of G2/G3/G72/G73 routines for milling circles and
threads is arcane.
