Can you copy the G-code into a troubleshooting file and edit out
everything before the first 3D MOP? (Whatever that is?)


It's just text. Any editor will work.


Anything but WordImperfect.g Back in the early '90s, I got lots
of consulting work getting computers back up and running after the
brilliant experts had modified their config.sys and autoexec.bat files
with WP and saved them in WP format. The hardest task of the day back
then was _not_giggling_ as I 'repaired' the computer.


About the same time, I had to "repair" a computer because an employee
had opened command.com in Word Perfect, then saved before exiting the
document.
