I am thinking your halio.c is duff, how long is it? -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 12969 2013-08-21 02:49 halio.c -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 13550 2013-11-21 18:12 halio.c-patched And I am reasonably sure that I am using the patched version here. In case you haven't found it, I'll attach it to a PM that just left. > Most notably, though, there is NO SIGN of camview anywhere! > I assume from campins.hal, that camview is supposed to > export some pins, and I don't see it anywhere.

I'm back in the house, its set in for a rest of the night drizzle too, having hit a good quitting point of the Y screw for the mill, and am now awaiting the arrival of the ball thrust bearings from the far side of the big pond. > Thanks, > > Jon > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------- Is your legacy SCM system holding you back?
