I learn something new every time. I had never looked at the options for the save command. Never bothered.
So I saved a 'spare' macro as a .mcc file, and then opened it with Notepad. Hum ... a lot of gibberish, then the text of the original macro in a slightly mangled manner, and some more gibberish. OK - sort of packed?
Then I tried to open that file with the VB Script Editor. I had to type in the extension as .mcc was not an option, but it loaded. Well, sort of: the 'Cypress enable' at the start appeared, but nothing else. Almost as though the Script Editor stopped loading as soon as it ran into non-ASCII characters.
At least, it seems that once the file has been pre-compiled, Mach3 is not likely to try and change it! This could have some value.
So ... why doesn't Artsoft ship most of the macros pre-compiled?
And why isn't there anything about the .mcc extension in any of the manuals I have looked in recently? Sigh.
Cheers
