I have been lurking this group for a while as I am going to CNC my
Sherline soon. Much has been written on various CNC programs an from
what I have read EMC seems promising.
I wnt to this site mentioned in the message above and found a link to
a ftp server that gave me this message:

**WARNING**WARNING**WARNING**WARNING**WARNING**

Are all of you EMC users "authorized personnel" working for "official
Government business"es? I am not so I just backed out and posted this
question.
