Gene, I've heard you mention many times that your mill's column is out of square with the machine. Have you considered that it could be in fact the table that is out of square with the column, and tried to shimming it to square it to the column? (Would require a lot of fiddly work with the gibs.)

But the examples all show if as offset.N, No examples show it renamed. And the error msg on the failed startup no longer mention the line number in the file that failed. That was indeed a handy troubleshooting tool. Is that how I have to use it? names not allowed but as offset.N.update-output and offset.N.update-feedback? or is the proper syntax for names offsetx.update-output and offsetv.update-feedback? And that works! manpages are a bit incomplete when they don't spell that out. So stage 1 of the conversion works, the loadrt and addf stuff works. I'll carry on wiring it up. Thank you. Take care and stay well Andy. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
