When the Motorola 68K and PowerPC chips continued losing ground to the X86 line, Apple found a way to get on the winning hardware while still being Apple. I don't know how hard it is for Mach to work with newer versions of Windows, but I like the cross platform development tools idea. It's cheap (though I don't know how cheap) insurance. I personally like LinuxCNC, but I'm glad Mach is out there for all those who love it, or just use it without knowing. JustWorks (TM) is great, and a few gotchas are to be expected from something as complex as a machine controller. I wish you all the best, Ron. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
