Gage Block calculator

There is a gent that has a bunch of metalworking programs on the web, one of
which is a gage block stack calculation program. Do any of you remember
what his website is address is?
Thanks,
Wes

Yes, that would be me. See my sig for my website URL. The program is called SPACEBLK

Marv,
First, thanks for putting all that stuff you developed out there for the rest of us.
I notice it doesn't like deeply nested directories on W2k.
C:\cygwin2\home\Administrator\\mklotz\fckeditor\UserFiles\File\spaceblk>gageblk The system cannot execute the specified program.
Works fine from C:\ or C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop>
Not a big problem now that I figured it out. I am not asking you to fix that either, just mentioning it for others in case they use some fairly deep directory nesting.
Have you ever toyed with the idea of porting this and some of your other programs to the Palm platform?
Thanks again for putting up the executables and source. Source makes it an even greater contribution.

What I need is a gage block calculator that accounts for the blocks already missing from the set, like when I have to make two separate stacks or when someone else got to the set first!

Just a thought - how about parts of different materials.

IIRC, he uses a data file with the stack set in it so you can edit it to remove the blocks you are missing.
It would be a pita though to edit out the blocks used in stack 1 when you want to calculate stack 2 but it is doable.

=2E.. erFiles\File\spaceblk>gageblk I had that issue with my program that tracks on-line time by reading the modem log. The simple fix was to add a shell script that copies the file to a short-named directory near the root.
