All you need is the *.lng file (lng = Language). The *.src file (src = Source) is only needed if you want to make changes and modifications to an existing *.lng file. Usually you do not want to do this. See CPLOC.EXE (it is in the cp...zip file) if interested in making menus.

This tiny software is very simple and that makes it great for error tracking (mystique backlash, lost steps, lpt port errors, malicious motor electronic, driver problems and such) in a cnc environment at low level. Remember that less is often more. A minimalistic system eliminates a lot of potential errors by definition. Have a look to the commented source to see how easily motor steps are generated by software.
