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. > so I'm all for some way to give something back. > 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. > I get asked to write code when I ask what I can do, > but this stuff is past me. > > I'd like to contribute something > and dont have *ANY* qualms about any donations being abused.
