I’d love a place to learn more about Freedos and a place with articles for a beginner/entry. My dad who passed away used a program named IMAGE to make programs for CNC machining on Freedos. I myself have 0 knowledge when it comes to Freedos, I just know how to find the programs but I have no idea how to print them or transfer them. Would love an article/tutorial on basic commands and how to navigate.
