New GUI

[Ray Henry <rehenry-at-up.net>]

List

I placed two files in www.linuxcnc.org/dropbox.  

mini4-3-03.tgz
mini4-3-03.txt

The tar file will install a complete gui system on BDI releases.  You should 
place that file in the (/) directory and issue 

tar xzvf mini4-3-03.tgz 

After you have done that an x-windows restart should show three icons and 
three links on your root desktop.  These lead to the startup of run and ini 
files that I've set up for 1/4 stepped Sherline mills.  The links should 
start your editor with the relevant ini ready for edit.

If you load these on TNG you should only run the mill_inch_freq version the 
stepper versions will not run on that release.  You could change these ini 
files to freqmod and stepping_type = 4 for the binning stuff.

I've tested these with a 333 Mhz laptop and 800 via desktop systems.  Only 
the frequency version may require editing of the period parameter but you may 
need to edit the address of your parport.  A machine should not be required 
to test them out.

Let me know what you think.
