Ray's May12rev.tgz is in the "Dropbox"  at www.linuxcnc.org

I bought "win4lin"  from www.trelos.com and installed it on my Mandrake 7.0
computer last night.  I was laughing about it the whole time.  It's a way of
installing Windows under linux and keeping it in line.  It runs as an
application in Linux.  I have some screen shots of Windows98 running in a
little box inside the K desktop-it's a real hoot!  So,  I am using my favorite
windows CAM program- Vector in linux now.  This might not be the most elegant
way of getting there- you have to buy win4lin for $50 and you have to have a
windows install cdrom, but I sure think it will work until more things are
ported to linux.  

I invite more people to submit material for www.linuxcnc.org.  We need writers
who are into CNC, machine tools, EMC, programming, etc....

Thanks,
Dan
