RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Variable Transformer

Andy -

I've apologized to him offline - if I had realized that his message in here
had been sent at the same time as the message in Gecko group, but had been
delayed, I would simply have ignored it.

Actually, I think Mariss's reply, as well as being a warning, gave plenty
of an answer for most mortals - or should I say, for those mortals that
don't want to prove they are mortal too soon!

Regards,
Tony
