If a particular machine has a large library of parts in a slightly different dialect of G-code, then that particular EMC2 installation (In fact, as little as one particular machine Configuration on that installation) can be made to emulate the previous control. One good example is the BOSS retract style mentioned in a different message, if a lot of G-code exists which assumes this, then the EMC2 installation could be relatively easily modified to emulate it. But only that machine configuration needs to be changed, not the whole of EMC2. -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your Android app more play: Bring it to the BlackBerry PlayBook in minutes.
