So the next Q then, is do I have to completely nuke the commented session 
I am retaining in case camview or something like it becomes linuxcnc 
compatible again?

For that matter I could nuke both, because as of about 2.5 years ago, 
even the second method fails, so all its MDI commands are commented out.

Its frustrating, and I guess it shows here.

Why is it that anytime someone manages to make a camera work with 
linuxcnc, some change in the next few months kills it? I would think 
that between that and the align.gz kit of code, its use would get a 
higher priority as well done, you could remove a part from the table, go 
test fit it, and if something needs additional trimming, go put it back 
on the table and with 4 or 5 mouse clicks, re-orient the coordinate 
system to match the old work, and resume work on the part in perfect 
registration.  And do it in 5% of the time one would have spent making a 
jig to relocate it to your gcode.

I can't understand the lack of interest in such a facility.

I have a camera running on the G0704, but it must run on a separate 
screen, and my questions about the _camon and _camoff are ignored? 
_camon will run the machine to the offsets configured, but when it gets 
there, it turns around and comes back to the original position, and that 
is NOT in the code I see in _camon.

Ouch, what a crappy search function.  Even bash can do far better than 
that albeit using some pretty old fashioned $LEFTS syntax.

Sorry Jeff, a back thats needing constant pain meds, and the summer heat 
is making me testy.
