Hello everyone,

This is a Quarry cover/fill program made for large-scale quarry-holes.

Features include:

self-orienting: The program will work on retangular/square holes of any size.
smart: The turtle will stop and report errors in most cases.
"failproof": The turtle should never end up out of reach (in the middle of the hole).
affordable: Three editions to suit your ressource pool perfectly.
unstopable: If able turtles will dig blocks in their way.

Instructions:
1. Make sure your Quarry has a one block ring around it.
2. Place the turtle on the edge of the Quarry, facing it's bottom left corner.
3. setup the turtle as described below.
4. Download and run the program of your choice.
(5). If the turtle stops, make sure the block in-front is part of the Quarry; fix the error given and run the program again.
(6). View this gallery if you are confused by some of these instructions: http://imgur.com/a/UMsqw

The Editions:
note: choosing any falling block as material will fill the Quarry, Any other block will cover the Quarry with a one block thick floor.
note 2: Blocks mined may be lost.

Mining Turtle + Enderchest (normal)*:
(Slot 14: One block of the desired material.)
(Slot 15: Enderchest with any "One-use" fuel (no lava buckets).)
(Slot 16: Enderchest with material.)
*: Strongboxes or any NBT-keeping inventory may be used instead of enderchests.

Mining Turtle (enderless):
Fuel the turtle manually then fill it with material.
The 16th slot needs to contain at least one block of the material.

Turtle (miningless):
Same as enderless, will not dig blocks in it's way.

hey on line 11 of your enderless script, you are checking for greater than '>' instead of less than '<', just need to swap it around or the turtle thinks its out of fuel when it has more than 10 :)/>

Has been changed. Operators make it really easy to slip up.
Thanks for reporting it and welcome to the memberzone. ^_^/>
