Guys,

The documentation Phill has produced is in asciidoc format

This was written at Andy's request. The intent was to have it in the
section as per Lathe Users Information as he originally suggested.
I think that is the right place as it not really about configuration which
is where John suggests. Its really designed to give the user intending to
use LinuxCNC to control a plasma table the information required and an
understanding of the complexities of the task. I might add if I knew how
complex it was and how immature Linuxcnc was in relation to plasma when I
first started, I would have built another machine.

I paid someone to produce some images so there is no possibility of digital
rights violation.
Many people have contributed to the content and a draft has been available
on the forum for some time.
It would have been nice to have received some feedback on the direction the
documentation took earlier as it might have been able to incorporate that
feedback at an early stage.

Some headings are supported by  separate HAL components  that are not
published to linuxcnc. If they were, this document could be more tightly
linked to LinuxCNC.  However, If we accept that Plasmac is now the official
linuxcnc configuration for plamsa tables, then there is no point in
publishing them as Phill has incorporated their functionality into Plasmac.
