Thanks for the flowers "lad" Indeed... :)  But I am stuck with kernel 
2.6.32-132-rtai to be able to run linuxcnc even in the sim mode.  But we (I 
have mice in my pocket) should be ready to upgrade by 14.04 IF we can patch 
that kernel.  Paolo M. is behind on maintaining the rtai patch kit in 
regard to late kernels.  The xenomai patchkit also looks promising but 
doesn't manage the almost vanishingly small latency jitter figures that the 
RTAI patches can.  That is rather important when running stepper motors as 
jitter burns up available torque.

Cheers, Gene
