I'm a UNIX guy and actually do not use spaces in anything. But if I have an input field, then I rely on the validation of the input. Stepconf allows the space in a profile name but subsequently fails to fix that up or reject it for later use as filename. I always found VMS to be the simplest OS. Also very stable. We had a server problem with a memory leak. No sources... so no way to fix that. We used a cheap electrical timer which pulled the plug every morning at 2am and restored power at 2:30. Over 5 years there has been no problem with that. Then the box became obsolete. I think they buried it next to it's trusty timer in the local landfill... sniffff good times....
Btw.... what happens when that dreaded 'unexpected realtime blabla' happens and it's ignored. Rough running? Steps missed? All seems to be running good now. My little Taig Mill runs WAY faster now without any hickups or rough running compared to the comparably crappy performance under Mach3. Really nice. Can't wait to confirm the moves with a micrometer and then cut something cool on it.
