RE: EMC-programming request

SHHHH!!!

Fred just put it together on Friday after I pestered him some more about the
backlash compensation. He was going to announce it after it got tested on an
actual machine. I was at a Promise Keepers conference Friday night and
today, so I haven't had an opportunity to test it. Have you loaded it up and
tried it yet? I plan on getting it tested out by Sunday night and letting
Fred know my results on Monday.
