Did this now that it's there.
Aloso made a copy of it and named it dro_old.c to be safe.

Okay, after downloading it to a folder,
I just clicked it and it opened showing me the files
BDI_build and i586config.
I then highlighted these both, and copied them to the /usr/local/emc
directory.
then I clicked BDI_build and was given an error message that says:
"Could not execute program /usr/local/emc/BDI_build"

Hmmmm...
The paperwork that came with it doesn't show that option.
I can choose 512, 544, 576, 608, 640, 672, or 736.

Thoughts?
