Re: Running the EMC program

[Dan Falck <dfalck-at-sprynet.com>]

In Tkemc, when you open a file, the default file extension is set for *.ngc 
or maybe *.nc.  I believe that this can be changed to look for other 
extensions, but I always use the *.* filter and look at all the files in my 
directory.  Since I use Vector, my default extensions come out as *.tap
With Xemc, you're left in the dark as far as seleting file names.  When I 
run it, I use another X terminal and list the files in the direcetory where 
they should be with " ls *.tap"
It takes a while with X and linux, but after a bit of use it grows on you.
