Bill,
It wouldn't be welcomed by those already using Stepster only.
There are people out there that already have Stepster working and wired up,
this should not involve them in having to change their set-up when they get
Charlie's update.

I have not heard any mention of Microsystems LPT CNC stepper software which
has solid
G-code support and well thought out but may not be to everyone's taste.
Anyone out there with experience they wish to share?

A very promising development is the Indexer LPT 32 bit port for Win95/98.
Bags of improvements over the 16bit version and serious jump in performance.
The improved interpolation (helical) and buffer look ahead for smoothness is
attractive - the lack of a g-code front end is already addressed with add on
front ends available from other people. Anyone care to comment?

Cheers
Mo
