Hi John,


I am a student and work part time as a machinist.  I came across your PYTHON script for "Drilling Feeds and Speeds."  I work on an old Bridgeport Mill at school and some old ROMI lathes.  Unfortunately, I don't have LINUX or EMC2.  Because of this I took the liberty of trying to adopt your PYTHON script to a MAC OSX Application.


I got as far as building the GUI in Interface Builder but I had a lot of trouble compiling your code with the XCODE 3.0 Cocoa and Python Template.  So what I decided to do is send you the XIB file so maybe you can finish it since it's YOUR code in the first place! :)


Either way, I hope you like what I did.  I think the layout is nice and might be what you intended.  All you have to do is look at it on a Mac with XCODE 3.0 and Interface Builder.  With my luck, you are probably one of these people that hates Mac's!  :)


Well I really like the code you have written so far, but I tried to convert it to OBJECTIVE-C and I just don't have the skill.


This is only the GUI and nothing else.  The .h and .m files would be up to you I guess.


Getting PYTHON to work with PyObjC also seems very tricky and it's almost impossible with XCODE 4.


Best,
