I have now joined the ranks of those with a real, non-simulated version
of EMC running. Pity its not hooked up to anything yet... Anyway, the
last hint Fred P. gave me about the stepper motor test stand files being
in DOS mode was the final piece. After that, emc ran fine first try! I'm
still a Linux hack, blindly copying half of all the commands I type, but
understanding more all the time. Now on to making parts in Autocad,
saving as DXF, and trying Flashcut's demo to convert them to G-code, and
running them on emc! (doing as yet nothing...)
