Gee, guys.... Isn't it just possible you're both right?

Ray- It reminds me of that episode of " All In The Family" where Archie and the Meathead argue over whether its best to put on 1 shoe and sock at a time or both socks followed by both shoes.

Ha! that one really made an impression on me and I haven't seen it in 30 years! In software development (and we are writing code here), commands are "safest" and easiest to debug if they are atomic - meaning just one thing on a line. That said, one can do it however one wants but.......

It only takes a couple good crashed tools to put the fear in ya. I also like breaking up major functions in a program and run all the parts for a "side", then run the next side on another program etc. like mentioned above.. keeps things real simple. I also avoid running code from the middle somewhere, as sure as *&*T I forgot some move or setting that will end up burying the tool in the part - or worse the vise or table (done both)...

Experience is a harsh teacher! I do like Path Pilot better than Mach for sure, which seems to have a number of "Ghosts in the machine" that would bite from time to time. I'm glad to decouple the pulse from the PC clock.
