( I am not a programmer ) When folk say "you want it, you code it" this isn't a rejection of the idea, it is just that they know that they can't do it. The Machinekit fork wasn't a high point of the LinuxCNC story. But MAH wanted to re-work NML to use a 0MQ as he was keen to make the GUI / Realtime split that some are asking for. He took more than a whole year off work to make that happen. It didn't happen (in LinuxCNC _or_ Machinekit as far as I know) An analysis of the 2.8 release: LinuxCNC contains 2,294,176 lines of code. 55% of those were touched during 2.8 development. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
