2 Questions.

[Andy]

1. How do I make a .txt file to go with my post.

I use my edited Mori.pst post and there is no mori.txt file with it. However there is a mplfan.txt which is probably the one that is loading.

I discovered this when I tried to modify the misc values text and realized that the .txt file was what I needed to edit. Should I just copy the mplfan.txt to mori.txt and go from there?

 

2. I also discovered that I do NOT have a file called lathe8.prm as the screen/config/nc parameter file: claims I should have.

What is that?

Thanks,

Andy

1> post.TXT files

You can copy the MPLFAN.PST to MORI.TXT an alter it as needed. Note that MC does NOT read from MPLFAN.PST in this case. All default TeXT comes from the main system TXT file. (LATHE8.TXT in this case). The TXT info. from your MORI.TXT then over-rides the default TXT.

 

2> LATHE8.PRM file

Don't worry about it.

PRM files for MC are (most often) used to store parameter information states. Yes, you problably knew that! If MC (and some C-Hooks) need a .PRM, it is usually created by the process that needs to save info. for the next time it runs.
