I think that emcmot (== motion) is part of task. task is always "milltask" in current LinuxCNC but could, in theory, be replaced by hypothetical plasmatask or edmtask (or even lathetask) Part of the modularity of linuxCNC is that you don't have to use the same task (or the same interpreter) in every configuration. (And you can happily run LinuxCNC without motion, and without an interpreter, and without a task) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
