Re: virtual hand jive and human factors

I missed the beginning of this thread, so forgive me if the following
is irrelevent.

I'm a very happy user of CNCPro, still not having gotten around to
playing seriously with EMC, even though I'm a Linux guy at work.

One of the things I wanted was a remote pendent to move the table
around without having to fumble with the IBM keyboard.


I have a PIC read a number of switches and then output characters in
RS232 form as required. A simple TSR loaded before CNCPro accepts the
serial bytes from a COM port and then "stuffs" them into the keyboard
buffer.

As CNCPro appears to be written "properly" - using either DOS or BIOS
calls to read the keyboard - and as my TSR also "obeys the rules", this
trick has ( with one little exception ) been working fine.
