Mach2Mill manual - your advice please


John Prentice
 

Appendix 3 of the manual is a long list of codes for screen controls. It was intended to help people designing their own screens (rather than modifying existing ones). I have never referred to it. It is a pain to maintain as the screens are updated and will inevitably be wrong for all OEM systems. The information in it can be obtained at anytime by running my new utility Mach2ScreenTweak.

Would anyone be upset if I saved 6 pages by deleting the Appendix (and replacing it by a definition of the format of .SET files and reference to ScreenTweak perhaps)?

Seems like a valid trade.

I agree, kill it. Mach2ScreenTweak will be released (with Johns permission)
into the release setup file. So it will appear on all systems. It is a great
piece of work and I'm very happy to include it with Mach2.

Thanks John,

I think it would be fine to just place it here in the files section
for archival purposes. BTW I've been reading throught the Mach2
manual and Its very cool. I like the examples and
layman sensibility in the style. Very helpful to beginners. Too many
documents assume prior knowledge. Great job! and I will never accuse
someone of being "Murky" again :-)
My 3 cents worth before taxes.
