G-Wizard CNCCookbook configuration with Linuxcnc

I recently encountered a program called G-WIZARD from Bob Warfield at CNCCookbook.com. It appears to be a REALLY useful package, particularly with the G-code editing with hints and explanations of the G-codes as they are used, and the simulation it provides...also the blogs and training emails from Bob are really interesting and useful, and well worth subscribing to.
HOWEVER I have been unable to get the setup/configuration wizard to let me set it up specifically for Linuxcnc, which the author insists the program supports, but can't/won't help me set up.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, and do you have a solution, since nothing is forthcoming from the author?

G-Wizard and Stepconf are entirely different things

Can you give a bit more information about what isn't happening? (It seems a little more than trivial to get a version of G-wizard to experiment with)

During setup with G-Wizard there is a pop-up frame that supposedly lists all of the available post processors including LinuxCNC. In my case, the frame contains the message that the post processors have loaded, but there is nothing in the list to select. I've attached a screen shot of what comes up when I hit the BROWSE button in the bottom right corner for the CNC COntrol (POST). BTW the same pop-up appears when I load the program. I have been totally unable to get anything to show up in the pop-up to select from. What you see is what I get.
FYI I've repeatedly sent this stuff to Bob as a service job, but have not gotten a solution back over the last three months that I've been using the program.

I assume that what it says isn't true? ie clicking "OK" does not then allow you to press the ... button to the right of the "CNC Control (post)" text box and select LinuxCNC?
