Call in the St Bernards, I found it in the sim.axis-mill config. But I see I had to use an s32tofloat, which could be dispensed with if we had a comp that took s32's for its inputs as that what motion.motion-type is. But I don't recall stumbling over such a critter. Do we have one, and I just didn't recognize it? Like the lut5? No, its bits all the way down. Oh, and where is the man page for modmath.so?
