No, it isn't.  The "Handbook" came from Arnie and Ray's idea for a "cookbook"
for EMC.  It was meant to be a "howto" from a different point of view- than the
NIST help files and HTML pages.  I set up the domain names "linuxcnc.org,
linuxcnc.net, and linuxcnc.com" for it and then settled on the *.org for the
site.  Steve Stallings offered the space on his server for free and it was up
and running.  Ray Henry has done 95% of the work on the handbook (and done a
mighty fine job).

The "report" was done by Karl Klemm as a college project.  It describes how
EMC could be used (and is being used) by small businesses. There is also a
chapter on setting up a Bridgeport mill at the school.  Karl was gracious enough
to upload the whole thing for us into the "Dropbox" directory.  

All of the stuff going into the linuxcnc.org web site has been done by people
like Steve, Ray, Tim, Jon, Arnie, Will, Fred and Karl, on a voluntary basis.

Thanks guys!
