Terry,

The problem is that Windows trots off and does it's own thing at
random intervals, thus messing up the timing - it gives a variable
time response to interrupts, which can really mess up your finish as
your cutter pauses for Windows to do it's housekeeping.

EMC under Linux has the 'real time' extensions to keep it
concenrating on what you want it to do!

I sympathise re: finding your way arround Linux as I have the same
problem!
