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.

Took me a while to figure that one out. LOL.

Like the guy who called tech support because they'd lost a
document in the word processor, and was told "Do nothing" - then
closed the program, and turned off the machine. They were extremely
irate to learn the next day that while there had been a slight chance
of recover if he'd followed instructions, the document was now
completely beyond all hopes of recovery.

"That watch you sold me doesn't work."
"Did you wind it up?"
"Of course I wound it."
"I told you not to interfere with it!"

Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And
you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the
question, forty two, 47, the second door, and how many blonde lawyers
does it take to change a lightbulb.
