I'm pretty sure it's RH5.2 with 2.0.36. I'm hoping it's rtlinux09J rather
than rtlinux version 0.5. I know his EMC is really old, like a year or more!
He needs a new EMC and a KDE desktop. It's about a 45min-1hour drive for me,
so it's not a problem, although maybe Frank would give it a shot himself. At
worst I come up and fix it. The worst part will be translating from the old
.ini file format to the new one, and we also used to install in /usr/local
rather than /usr/local/nist. I'll try to call him tomorrow (or he'll beat me
to it), and we'll set something up. I'd like to get a better picture for my
web page anyway...

Ray, I just tried out the backplotter yesterday and I'm really impressed!
When you get a chance, e-mail me your phone number and I'll give you a call.
