Hi

^M is symbol for carriage return

If you edit a file with a windoze editor it will litter the file with them

Get a decent file manager like mc (Midnight Commander) whose editor shows all the stray formatting characters - and remove them

I can assure you that it IS the problem

I downloaded the linux source package of dxf2gcode and here are the first few lines of the dxf2gcode_b02.py file viewed in mc

The whole thing has been written in a windoze editor by the look of it - yugh :evil:

Yes MC did it, the ^M was removed and I can call it up from terminal.

I did use tofrodos to try but it does not find the ^M.

Thanks
