I had not attempted to run that interface, so I called up my sim and had 
it load the gmocappy-lathe. According to the error msgs it gave in the 
terminal, it would need to be updated from its former home on a *buntu 
install.

I was unable to locate a button that would open a file selector, so I 
couldn't load one of my programs and exercise it.  Also, the mdi mode 
yelled at me for using the keyboard.  So all I could do was the dummy 
home_all, and use the arrow keys to move the tool.

I could fall in love with thsat huge dro. I think part of the problem may 
be that it is expecting paths to be absolute, but the absolute is in 
*ubuntu-eze. I'll take a look at the ini files and see if thats easily 
fixed.  Film at 11 maybe? Nah, not without a moving machine to show. :)

Cheers, Gene Heskett
