Re: BDI updates?

[Paul <paul.corner-at-tesco.net>]

Hi Mark

There is a file detailing some of the changes to the BDI disk on the CD - Not 
that helps you much.
The most revealing log is the one contained within the EMC rpm which I've 
included below. This is from the BDI-2.16 disk which is now available from 
all the usual sources including www.yty.net/cnc/bdi.html

A few extra packages have been added to the BDI disk since it's first 
release, as has a couple of non linux apps. Included in the latest CD is tcl 
and tkemc.zip for Windows for those of you that want to run a remote GUI on a 
MS box. Many thanks to Don McLane for compiling the tkemc binary.

The next BDI release is some time off as small things like the documentation 
needs to be updated to reflect changes being made to the sources. A few new 
drivers are in the pipeline for servo systems along with some additional 
packages.


Regards, Paul.
