RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] study, study, study smdromod

Paul,

Do you know if Ray's binary for the BDI incorporates this fix??

I knew that smdromod was based on freqmod, but am surprized to hear that
you could link it to steppermod instead. I remember discussing this with
Fred Proctor when it was in the idea stage and he felt it would be
relatively easy as it only required changing the virtual encoder counts
on freqmod to be the real input from the Mauch/Kulaga DRO card. Am
surprised that the same hook would be possible in steppermod as it does
not use a virtual encoder.
