Someones gotta ask this: What is Run-Old??

If it refers to Old wireframe 3-D toolpaths, I do on occasion, but would not miss it if it were gone.

Runold

A C-Hook that removes information from an NCI file that might prevent it from running on an older post processor with a DOS-based executable file.

The reason I said if you need to ask then your answer is no and you don't need to reply is simply that if you are not using it, you never will.

 

Run Old reverts the NCI file to a version that extremely old post processors can work with (typically those that came with a .com file). We just wanted to get a feel for the number of people that might still be using it (which from what I see is pretty much nobody - well, except for Roger). With X on it's way, we are looking at each function to determine whether or not the effort should be made to include it. In this case, it's kind of like taking a carborator off of a 1965 VW Beetle and trying to mount it on a 2004 Ferrari... Sometimes the answer is simply no...

Er.. I can neither confirm nor deny the existance of version X at this time...

 

Paul teh... CMA

 

(Just between friends though, if said version X did in fact exist, it would be like a Ferrari compared to a VW Bug)

It's not looking good for run old. Oh well... there's always another way to skin a cat.

[Code_Breaker]

I have written my own "custom" posts. Therefore, I only used it between upgrades. It saved me the time to "run-old", than to learn about the upgrades and then modify my posts.

[Code_Breaker]

oops . . . what was I thinking . . . I meant "update pst".

 

In the spirit of Gilda Radner, "never mind"

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Yeah, I use update to get me going but within a couple fo weeks/months I'll have a new one done. My posts are modular for the most part. I do have a few formatting things to modify but not a huge ordeal. Planning and forethought is everything.
