I renamed tholefinder.ngc to tholefinder,
Leave the filename the same.
Rename the subroutine inside that file.
Call it by the subroutine name.
I did that, it worked but now complains about a syntax error in that
file. But without reporting a line number or anything that might lead to
locating it. And I have another problem, tholefinder was written in inch
days, last used for inch measurements. To make it smarter I need to have
it check the machines units with units.comp, which I finally found a
copy of but halcompile flat refuses to do anything with it. Every combo
the manpage shows exits with:
gene@GO704:~/linuxcnc/configs/go704-xyza$ halcompile --install units.comp
Traceback (most recent call last):

Is the man page for halcompile duff? This is master, apt updated early
this morning. On buster of course.
