Re: EMC-programming request

Hi Emc men,

Add to this a request for info and a link if possible to a proper EMC
manual - so far I have only found emcsoft.html which doesn't seem to
tell me much and which doesn't seem to tie in with any of the example
programmes from Matt, Tim or those with EMC.
Yesterday I tried to make a new configuration file to deal with 4 axes
but, try as I might, I couldn't get the display to show more than 3 - I
assume I am doing something wrong but can't find any help to put me
right. Ultimately I want to run 5 axes - x, y, z plus a dividing
head/rotary table and rotation of the spindle head around the y-axis -
will this be possible using the current release of EMC or in any planned
release in the forseeable future?
