Quickstep CNC program

[mysterious]

Anybody ever try this program? Quickstep
Looks pretty good to me. Just wondering if any of you guys have ever heard of it or have any opinions on it. It is selling for $55 on ebay.

motomitch1,
So is this the only program you need or is it one of many? I plan on mostly doing plaques and pretty simple stuff. From the website, it looks pretty easy use as far as setting up parameters, compared to mach2 and others. Have you tried others to compare it to? Or has anyone else? Any input is appreciated, I just want to know as much as possible before purchase, also any other program that you guys might recommend for a hobbiest.

Its one of many and comes with Ace converter which is a DXF to G Code converter and you have to have CAD that will save as a dxf file.

Like I said, I plan on doing mostly plaques and what not. I have a bunch of EPS format images that I can convert to DXF format using my Corel draw and I plan on making text in dxf format using Corel as well. Will this work with Quickstep or do I need something els? Auto Cad seems to pricey and complicated for my purposes.
