Re: arc file?

[Don McLane <dmclane-at-ieee.org>]

Will,

Thanks, this is progress.

Do I need to change the module descriptions now?  For instance, in the .cfg 
file are entries for:

     task, tool, aux, spindle, coolant and lube

But the modules I'm running (if I do ps -ax) are:

     emcmotsim, simio, bridgeporttask, emcsrv and emcsh

Should there be some correspondence?  Or am I missing something?

Thanks.

Don
