RE: Thoughts on Gcode interpreters and CNC controls....

Ballendo,

Please, at least make it like 'C'. And I guess the current thinking
(thinkers) would say make it like JAVA. Oh well.

I downloaded NIST RS274/NGC Interpreter, vers 3. A fine document. NO,
I'm not even part of the way through it yet, but I wish I had it
earlier. Art and anyone else writing gcode interpreters, Gotta Have!
Nice to see "Thomas R. Kramer" on the cover. NOW we know who to ask!
