<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not a Linux programmer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am using emc bdi 4.20 software to run my small
cnc milling machine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a file in the emc/programs directory
called M102.C</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know what the intent is and I compiled it on the
command line as the comments within suggest and that works in that it creates an
M102.exe as expected.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I want to do is this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Using the M102.C code as a template, I want to be
able to add my own code to utilize my additional parallel port to control my
coolant pump and soon my automatic tool changer. I have no problem writing C or
C++ code but the interface to the EMC is want I need to get to.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cannot find documentation with the BDI 4.20 package
to tell me how to do this and I'm sure it's easy if I knew how.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone help get me started ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Respectfully,</FONT></DIV>
