Re: Bridgeport CNC retrofit recommendations wanted.

Hello,

Yes, TCNC should be classified as "source available to registered
users". Apparently now, only for personal, private modifications...

Ballendo

P.S. Daves original release said you could use it however you
wanted, "even build a CNC empire if you like"... But now it says that
you can only use it for your own private mods.(this second "quote" is
paraphrased) Which left folks like me in the cold. Having spent a few
years re-working the developing code for commercial release to build
my CNC empire, Can I now use it? Or do I have to eliminate
the "parts" that come from later source code releases??? (I like the
GUTS, but hate the interface.) The new V4 is better, but still not
what I was hoping for, and not at all like what I had developed for
independent release, based on the old source doc. I'm not sure when
it changed. Good thing there's Mach2<G>.
