compile & install millkins_xyz.c: sudo comp --install ~/linuxcnc/configs/my-mill/millkins_xyz.c

change 'loadrt trivkins' to 'loadrt millkins_xyz' in hal file

add a 'setp millkins_xyz.skew_y #.###' to set the amount of correction to apply in "Y"
add a 'setp millkins_xyz.skew_xz #.###' to set the amount of correction to apply in "XZ plane"
add a 'setp millkins_xyz.skew_yy #.###' to set the amount of correction to apply in "YZ plane"

'#.### is unitless and derived from mm/mm of skew or in/in of skew
