>From a quick look, in your .ini, your geometry line is xyz, 3 axises, but 
you then define xyzab, 5 axises later, and the .hal is missing the A and 
B stuffs. Its a bit short for a hal file too as many of the "net" 
statements don't have enough arguments.

A net statement should have

net name-of-net <= src => target [target] [target]
one src, and as many targets as you need
and then later in the file if needed, you can:
net same-name-as-above => target target 
for additional fanout if needed.
You can also do the second form in the postgui if needed if the target 
doesn't exist until the gui is running.

My stuff is a bit like topsey, it grew and grew from hand added stuff, 
and even my simplest lathe's hal file is 600 lines including comments, 
with some approaching 1000 LOC but have line after line of comments so I 
don't forget what I was doing 3 years later. Pleading guilty to being an 
old fart who does not well remember what he did 3 years ago. At 87 the 
wet ram does not refresh as well as it did at 47. :(

The other thing I note is that you are using gedit as the editor, and 
that may explain the short hal file. gedit likes to play 42 pickup with 
your stuff whenthe deck has 52 cards, please uninstall gedit, and 
install/use geany which doesn't have that bug. gedit looks nice, but it 
will eat your lunch /and/ dinner fixing its faulty saves, get rid of it, 
with prejudice. rm it on sight.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
