I'm busy writing some software based on Marv Klotz's utilities, but for "DOS challenged" people.
For the most part, it will be linux based, but I'm using Lazarus/Freepascal to develop, so my source code will be able to be compiled for Windows in 32 and 64 bit variations (as well as Windows CE/Mobile) and MAC OS/X. All development will be for free and open source.
For those of you that have not run away screaming yet from the nerd-talk , I'd like some feedback of features/utilities you might find useful. I cannot guarantee inclusion, or quick results, but I'll try my best.
My planning is to make a kind of Workshop Assistant software with some of the more commonly needed functions. So far, for my personal use, I have identified a dividing head calculator, fits calculation, metric/imperial conversion functions, change gear calculation, and some general data tables with lookup functions.
Though not directly CNC related, this looked like the best location to post to.
Regards, Arnold
