Dave, thats the thing, everyone has their priorities. For me I never use Tool nose rad comp so couldnt care if its there or not. Of course its good for it to be there but for me the most important thing was getting Front/Rear toolposts working properly. I have now modified the post processor in my CAM so that is no longer a priority for me but would still like it. Priority for me now would probably be CSS.
Sad thing is Brian is one guy, Mill/Plasma/Router guys are much more prevalent and also the part of the business that I imagine makes the money, OEMS, are probably 99.99% Mill/Router guys. I would guess selling licences to the likes of you and me are not whats keeping Mach going, I know I have purchased a licence for each of my machines running Mach but even if everyone did that then its not a big deal, add to that you only pay once then its the volume licence sales from OEMs that keep the wages coming in to allow Brian to continue.
Just my thoughts of course so take of it what you will.
Believe me I have been wanting big changes for Turn for a long time, probably only second in length of time to Steve Blackmore. Also i have talked to Brian many times and they are not easy things to change, Rev4 should make it easier but when Rev 4 will be out is anyones guess, its been a hell of a lot more work rewriting Mach than even Brian thought.
