Actually, it's RS274 that's different for every manufacturer. RS274-NGC was an effort by NIST to clear up all the incompatibilities by saying, "look, here's how it should work, dammit" and EMC was the reference implementation that came out of that. So, RS274-NGC is only one specific dialect. But it's the right one :) -fenn ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
