RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Excelon Drill file to MACH3 G-Code.

Hi Alan,

Thanks!

I've almost got Jon Elson's program working. At the moment it reports
about 66 holes where there are really 126. It appears to be skipping
every second line. So far though the generated files do run on MACH.

I'll post the source for the Microsoft Express version when I'm done.
