I've not used CNCPro until now, so my reasons are a little different than the other folks who expressed theirs. Prior to retirement, I was involved in adding...

Jerry, your goals are well defined, but there are limited possibilities of improving user interface since DOS is already overloaded. But it can be done nicely...
... Pete, The Borland compilers do not generate the same code. After 3.1 it was all down hill. I used to develop real-time code using a product called...

Hi All, I won't call this a "stupid" question...maybe a just a naive question ;) We don't all know C. As I only play around with programming in basic...
Hi John, The BASIC language has come a long way, and added many of the lower level functions that we enjoy in C. If you're doing PICs, check out PIC BASIC...
Thanks Alan, I haven't gotten to the PIC stuff yet...other projects have been priority and I KNOW the PICs will fascinate me too much. And now that you mention...
... Part of the issue with BASIC is that, in many implementations, it's an interpreter which reads each line of the program one at a time and then "figures out...
You have to use a Hardware keyboard encoder. This setup does work and work well. I have been using it for about 2 years now. Put floppy in drive & push the...

Hi All, Has anybody been able to develop any sort of picture as to how it all works in a general sense? I went looking for the look-ahead functionality but I...
Hi Jerry Is it available any places other than here? Has mention of it been made at a place like CNCZone? It'd be interesting to see how many download it when...
Hi John, My pleasure! And I'm really in to PICs and now an Atmel AT91SAM7S256 (ARM7). Getting "backed" by projects at work helps! That's an interesting idea....

Good points Jerry! I knew I would miss a few. And I had intended to mention the issue (perhaps the biggest) of compiling vs. interpreting. Interestingly...
Hi John, Ron, Part of the problem on long file names is that DOS (up to 6.22, the last?) doesn't know about long file names. I see something similar. I copy...
Hi All, What about distributing the versions each person compiles? Do I need to get Jerrys permission to put his on a software CD (for example)? Can I put them...
Hi, I did some eyeballing of the code mainly to determine a separation line to divide real time motion part (slave) from control part (master). This is a...
Hi Jerry, I almost responded earlier about direct's (name?) and John's discussion. DOS is pretty much out of the picture in running CNCpro, TurboCNC and even ...
