The "manual toolchange" program is a part of the upcoming emc 2.1.0, and
isn't in emc 2.0.5 or earlier.
I hope that we'll soon have an easy-to-install alpha release of emc
2.1.0, but for now if you want to try out the newest features, you can
do it by compiling from source.

When doing the CVS checkout you would use the "v2_1_branch":
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z5 -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs co -rv2_1_branch -demc2.1 emc2
Once you have emc2.1 compiled from CVS, you can see how the 'manual
toolchange' component works by running configs/sim/axis.ini and changing
tools. Or you can copy configs/common/axis_manualtoolchange.hal into
your own configuration directory, and make it one of the [HAL]HALFILEs
that is loaded when you run emc2.1.
