Re: Non-interactive FIFO Execution

MDI mode will accept blocks of code and execute them in FIFO fashion.  
You do loose some feedback from the interpreter when you do this but it 
does not sound like that would be a problem for you.  This does not work 
like a drip feed.  The interpreter really doesn't have a good way to ask 
for more.

You may be able to test how it works using the mdi script under the 
scripts menu in tkemc.  That tcl script simply stacks blocks into the 
interpreter using an emc_mdi "yourblock" command.  With this script I 
have loaded five to six thousand lines of code and found that the 
interpreter could work its way through.

Hope this helps.
