Yep, its getting to where we really have to push every button in sight, to 
find an unexpected action in what is now 2.6.4

Sadly, I can't say the same for the sims I occasionally run here on this 
house machine.  I would love to try gmocappy, but when you cannot home it 
due to its thinking the home switches are all already closed, that doesn't 
give me a warm/fuzzy.  OTOH, I haven't even looked at the .hal files that 
are supplied.  I suspect its a very easy fix if I did.  And I have not 
found the button that opens a file requester so I can simulate code I 
already have.

The axis interfaces OTOH still work well for the sim's here which is what 
I run in the shop on real (but too small, the usual comment about the cost 
of Makers Mark vs the occasional beer I can afford) machinery.

Sounds like a plan.  There are people here who have given me something I 
didn't even know I needed, or sold me the makings for a project for pocket 
change.  I won't name you, but you DO know who you are, and I thank you, a 
lot.  Net result is that I feel 2 to 3 hundred dollars donated over time 
might bring it back into balancing the books.

Neither do I.
