Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Why EMC?

The reason I'm not using EMC is that I found no clear link to a working
executable, and no clues at all about how to install it. This really put me
off since the pages I looked on were supposed to be the right places. I'm not
new to Unix or Linux. I suppose it would have been easy to do a bdi, but I
didn't. Maybe someday.
