I tried to read all the relevant information regarding setting up Hal and ini files for configuring the parport in ouput mode according to the manual. For examle I couldn't find any reference for setting up home switches. Configuring appears very complex to me, though in another cnc control programs I tried for Dos and Windows, it was a snap (excluding TCNC). In the manual there are 2 modes of operations of the parport - input and output. In the output mode it will take in 5 inputs - 4 can be designated for homing axices and 1 for limit switch. Why don't you provide a sample Hal and INI configurations for these 2 modes of the parport, to make life easier for people like me who are having a hard time trying to figure it out? Alex
