Any body recognize these file extensions (types)?

I recently acquired a used Techno-Isel RG-5996 router. I just finished installing and leveling the machine. The previous owner left a bunch of files behind in a directory called "cnc programs." From the filenames it looks like mostly various logos, sports teams, car companies, something called labyrinth, etc. Anyway being a car buff I would like to see what some of these are but I do not know what software they were created with or how to open them.

Each filename has five different file extensions. For example:

Ferrari Logo.BRK
Ferrari Logo.CM
Ferrari Logo.EV
Ferrari Logo.LIM
Ferrari Logo.NCD

Does anybody recognize those extensions? The normal file extension websites don't come back with anything I recognize other than Nero Cover Designer for the *.NCD. I have emailed the previous owner about it and have yet to hear back.

Ferrari Logo.BRK = Brooktrout Fax-Mail File
Ferrari Logo.CM = Craftman Data File
Ferrari Logo.EV = EchoView File
Ferrari Logo.LIM = Limit Compressed Archive
Ferrari Logo.NCD = CoverDesigner CD Cover Picture

Thanks for looking those up, Those are the same results I got using the web. How do they relate to CNC control?

I guess a better question would have been "Are these files types for any known CNC control package?" I may be able to use them with the Techno control but I don't know enough about it yet to know for sure.

All I know is that Echoview and Craftman Data File is game related.

I guess the former owner tried to hide his online gaming files in a CNC folder.

When you preprocess a nc file in the Techno controller it creates files like that. Use something like wordpad to confirm that the .NCD file is your G-code. You should be able to open that file in the controller app and it would be ready to cut without having to preprocess again (as long as nothing has changed with the post/machine/tools etc). You can preview the toolpath to see what it does but those aren't model files. The legalities of using the previous owners files is between you two.

Yeah I figured out the file types the other day. The *.ncd files are the G-code files.
