Then "works for non-guru" feature consists of configs made specifically for Tormach machines, their new fancy interface, Fanuc style toolchanger and some tool database. As I see it, Tormach forked LinuxCNC https://www.mail-archive.com/emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13335.html But they share no source code... OK, the PathPilot interface is proprietary, but other source code of the fork should be available?
