Found it!!!
Months ago we were talking about something CNC-ish and I said I wrote a program that washes radial files to fix broken splines in mastercam...
well I found the code! whoo hooo
all the .h, .cpp, .o files etc.
who wants...its yours for the asking
the .exe wont run, I figure it needs the BCB 6.0 runtime....plus it was done on a 32 bit winxp machine....

Sorry, it was late, I was tired...
Radial files are digitized scans of something in circles to cause a CNC machine to move that way to grind out a complex shape - cylinder head combustion chambers, intake ports etc.
There was a problem in 2004/5 (when I wrote this) that would cause a broken spline (exactly as the wording implies) and the MC (mastercam - cnc file creation program) file would cause a 'hiccup' as the toolpath encountered the spline. This little ditty was a way to smooth it out.
It may or maynot be of use to our machinists here.
At the time, me, my consulting company etc were working for centroid CNC out of state college pa. I wrote this on the side to help out Tom Hemphill of Hemphill Racing in clarksburg PA and in return he did the machining on my ford 347 but I digress. I had made it available under my consulting company with a simple license, but now that Im gubmint, all my released code has to be gpl. (gnu public license)
soooooo, it anyone wants this, I can send a zip file or individual files and you can recompile it (.cpp files are C plus plus - a programing language, .h are header files, .o are object modules, .exe is the executable) or incorporate it into something else.
It was written under Borland C Builder (bcb) ver 6 on a windows XP machine running 32 bit. thats why the exe would not work, plus it was asking for a .dll I dont have on this box.
If anyone knows C - a cake walk.
JustPM me
and as an added bonus, I found all the Dsects ("masks" as GM called them), for the C3 or OBD1 GM system - anyone want those? I was working on and filed a few patents for the OBD1 scan too to end all OBD1 scan tools, in CPP of course!

Well, now I understand what you meant in your first post 
, but have no clue about how to operate a CNC machine 
.
A fine example of engineer meets management perhaps. Everybody now knows what they are talking about, but have no idea how to do anything useful with their new found knowledge.

No offense but I'd think most of us that are hooked on old technology are hooked on it for the reason of simplicity. I am highly impressed and interested though, but stuck in the past is where I'm most comfortable when it comes to cars. Heck, all though I do it I hate working on new cars.
