New CNC software rev finally done...

To all,

Finally finished the new control rev, in time for turkey no less!
Here are the specs...

-Runs in DOS and uses the parallel ports for I/O
-Supports 8 axes simultaneously, angular or linear
-8 kHz step rate on a 486-66MHz PC (single axis move)
-Real ipm/ipr feeds, linear, circular, and helical interpolation
-Provides step/dir or direct winding outputs
-External trip and limit switch input
-Feed overrides on the fly
-20 tool offsets, incremental inch or metric modes, and subroutines
-Uses standard EIA274D G code
-Takes advantage of a math coprocessor if you have one.
-Reads one line at a time from disk for unlimited file sizes
-Old school programming, not "bloatware" - the entire shebang is
under 100k
