NIST 274NGC bugs was Flashcut and Mach2 was Re: Bridgeport...

Matt,

If you search the archive of the Master5 and Mach1/2 list, you will
see references to many of them. One that stands out is ABC moves with
XYZ linear moves, and feedrate issues with same.

Also, I think Art was asked by Ray H for a list of his bug fixes, or
at least help with "remembering" what they were. Art is in such high
speed mode that sometimes they are squashed without documentation
(according to Art)

Between these two sources, you should be able to get the biggest ones.
(I also tend to forget about 'em once they're gone, but the message
archive documents 'em somewhat.)

Hope this helps,

Ballendo
