Hi Peter > Windows 95 / 98 is MS-DOS with a graphic user interface on top.
Yes, I remember. The Körner controller ran as a Windows GUI program, AFAIR. > There was a boot option to start with DOS and then start Windows > manually afterwards from the command line, calling c:\windows\win.exe. > It was possible to stop Windows, too, get out and return to the normal > DOS surface. That's exactly what a hot wire cutter from Stepfour that we have here is doing. It start windows 95, than quits Windows, returns to DOS and starts the CNC controller. I should change this and prevent win.exe from starting in the first place... Well actually I wanted to retrofit the hot wire cutter and use LinuxCNC for a long time but I still didn't find the time. Unlike the Körner controller software the one from Stepfour running the hot wire cutter really lacks some important features and I can't read G-Code.
