Les, I don't think the time to parse is much of an issue, because even an inefficient parser is going to execute orders of magnitude faster than the transmission time over Ethernet.
Regards, Eric To be honest, I was thinking more of the overhead in parsing the text either end than efficient network transfer. Presumably if I am using local sockets then the packet size isn't an issue. I envisage most users having SheetCam and EMC on the same machine. I will experiment with emcrsh and see what can be done with the existing setup. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
