Greetings all; Skimming thru the doc pdf, under functions on page 204, I see there is an EXISTS[#<named variable>] function that I propose to make use of.
The one big file that carves the ends of all 4 major board parts of the blanket chest, uses just 2 variables at the top of the file to control which of the 4 boards it is carving during this invocation. This means a goodly number of trips into the editor in order to set them. Experimentally I have found that these variables seem to be able to survive in memory unless a full powerdown reboot has been done. That surprised me when I found that several years ago and it appears to be true yet today. So, what I am considering doing is writing 4 individual 8 or 10 line .ngc scripts that set these values into the 2 named variables so that I can then remove the creation of these vars from the main file and use only what the 10 liners have left behind, thereby removing the need to edit any of those 5 files to run it in whatever configuration one of the 4 new files sets it to. The exists[] would be used to trigger an unconfigured message to the big dummy that I can't run it after a powerdown without first running one of the 4 config .ngc files. Is this practical, or am I playing with fire? Thanks all; Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
