I'll get it done this weekend. I guess it wasn't very foresighted
of me to set the limit so low. I didn't even think about a 10TPI
screw. Apologies to anyone put out by this one. Thanks for a
detailed description of the error, too. I knew there was a problem
but not what it was exactly. I don't have encoders on a machine,
only laying on a table for testing purposes.

Will a 65000 limit be acceptable, or should I just say "damn the
torpedoes" and go for a limit in the billions?

Oh, how's the new page layout look, guys? I think the font is too
big, my fault for doing the editing on a 17" monitor. Other than
that, I kind of like it.
