Gentle persons: (Paul) Any organizational principle is better than none. However, call me cynical if you like (everybody at work does!) but I figure if this site is successful it will get disorganized over time just because lots of people will feel compelled to contribute and, like it or not, they'll add to it wherever they see fit because the whole purpose of theWiki approach is to let them do exactly that. I don't know the ins and outs of the ISO/DIN 66025. The US ANSI doesn't admit to having an English language version available. The DIN itself (http://www.din.de/) offers English language versions of DIN 66025-1 (1982) and DIN 66025-2 (1988) for 74.40 EUR, about $88, each. Since they're more than a decade old, I'd guess they are delivered in paper-copy form (or scanned pdf if you're lucky). MachineMate has a list of codes that they call "NC Programming as per ISO (DIN 66025) and RS274" (http://www.machinemate.com/StandardCodes.htm) but I have no idea how carefully they prepared it. I'm not sure what you mean by transcribing Tom Kramer's paper. It is available in pdf and html format. What needs to be transcribed? (By the way, you might want to email Tom directly about both his paper and DIN 66025. You can search his email address on the NIST site). (Michael) I've never used a memory stick with a Linux box but a quick Google search suggests lots of people struggle to get them working. Have you looked at http://www.debianhelp.org? I found this article "Using USB Flash Drives in Debian" (http://www.debianhelp.org/Article3529.html) which looks useful. I also found a follow-up thread (http://www.debianhelp.org/module-pnForum-viewtopic-topic-10425.html). As an aside, I'm happy to see another user of Jon Elson's products. I have just received a USC board from him and have only had time to test that it can communicate with my PC. Regards, Kent
