Fred,

Ok, thanks for the info on probing.  That's great!   Does the emc release
that's on sourceforge "emcbin...." from August have this built in?  When I
bring it up, there is a probing script built into the Tkemc Gui.  It gives
the dialog boxes for setting the probe index and such.   I assumed that it
did, since Will's description said it had probing in it.  My point being, I
don't want to try to install the RPM file over an existing one, if things
are already working.   If I need to get the source code and alter it for
steppers, I will.  But, if it's already working, great!

Thanks again!

Dan
