What? At least in my old EMC versions, the spindle speed section of the
code is broken, it doesn't come through to the DAC. Does it still need an
S word to comply, as the interpreter requires it in the syntax? there is no
error message with it, it just ignores it. I will have to try this next time it is
on. It never ocurred to me to try adding an S word, since i knew it didn't
use it.
