Need Software to Drive Steppers

[gcamlibel]

I just finished my mome made CNC milling machine. I tested it with KallyCam software, there is no bug yet. (can be seen at http://gunol.otocamlibel.com )

But I want to use softwares to drive my machine other than KellyCam

It must be a software that imports G-Codes and drives my steppers via parallel port.

What are these parallel port driwing softwares?

I use AutoCad to prepare dxf files and import them in to KellyCam software to convert G Codes and drive my machine.

I have also Mastercam and Surfcam demo softwares.

As seen I solved designing and G Code generating problem.

But I need some software to drive my steppers according to these G Codes

Most people here use either TurboCNC, from here:
http://www.dakeng.com

Or, Mach2 from here:
http://www.artofcnc.ca

I wrote a Gcode exprting macro for AutoCAD that you can get here:

It writes the g-code right from Autocad so it saves you a step.

There is a newer version of TurboCNC that you should use in the file section of the yahoo group. The link to the yahoo group should be at dakeng.com .The version you want is 3.24c.
