For both the drill and the bolt hole cycles, the conversational input screens are different for

versions of software older than #.116. They are also different for foreign translations and #.110

for the English translation. The input fields are the same for all versions of the software, but the

appearance and steps for arrival to the input screen are slightly different. For each cycle in the

old version a row of keys appears for the programmer to choose the type of cycle that he wants

to perform instead of having the toggle field to choose the desired cycle, as in the newer

versions. If a conversational program is created with an old style of drill or bolt hole cycle, the

conversational program still can be edited with the newer versions of software. However, if a

conversational program with the new style drill or bolt hole is created, it cannot be edited on the

older versions of software. A fatal error 100, “disk read error,” will appear when an older

version of software tries to read the new style of drill or bolt hole cycle in the conversational

program. If a conversational program with the newer style of drill or bolt hole cycle is edited on

the older software and the fatal error 100 is not given, the control will incorrectly post out the

text program. It will eliminate the event containing the newer style of drill or bolt hole cycle. The

control creates a text program corresponding to the inputs given in the conversational program,

and it is this text program that is run by the control. The text program that the control generates

is identical in both styles, so it is possible to edit and run text programs in each of the newer and

older versions of software no matter where the text program was created.
