I know many people who would be able to use it like Jeremie does, with a separate program tied to each WCS.
On a related note, Tormach's videos for their newly released 1100MX say that they will be expanding the number of WCS to 500 with a new version of PathPilot. I am curious as to how much work would be involved to implement extended WCS. How does LinuxCNC use the offsets stored in variables 5220-5390?
