Re: dxf to gcode to Galil DMC software

Opps!!
Just discovered a Galil driver conflict is generated when
installing the previously announced gdmc demo program onto a Win
2000 platform. So if you are installing on a machine with a working
Galil controller PLEASE hold off installing the gdmc application
unless you are an expert at installing Galil device drivers (hint:
the Gilil dmcdriverdll02.exe Ver. 7 DMC Driver (
http://66.60.181.132/xnet/checkreg.aspxlocation=software&target=dmcdr
iverdll02 ) needs to be reinstalled after gdmc is installed). If
previous link does not work then try at:
http://www.galilmc.com/support/download.html

Ignore this message if you still want to install the program just to
check out the GUI or dxf to gcode conversion.
Sorry for the inconvenience and hope to be posting that I have a
remedy for this problem soon.

I am anxious to find out if any one else out there is using one of
the "over 350000 worldwide installed controllers" Galil claims to
have out there in the market place.

Thanks, George
