Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC/Gecko/Parallel Port interface

Alan,

If you look in the dropbox, there are the relevant files for 5 and 6 axis
tkemc at least - I thought I had also put the 4 axis ones there but coudn't
see them last time I looked. I will put them there asap. There is also a
readme which will tell you where to put the files.

To run EMC either choose one of the standard icons on the desktop (top left
of screen - if there is a window over it, move it across like in windoze)
and click on it (most things in linux only need a single click), or open a
terminal window (the tv monitor icon at the bottom of the screen if there is
not one open already) and type cd /usr/local/emc [return], then ./emc.run or
./generic.run or ./sim.run to set off one of the example setups.
