Well said. The support the developers give EMC is uncommon even among commercial software. Mach gets a lot of support from vendors because the user base is bigger. But you can have a step/dir machine up and running under EMC very quickly. If a machine was running under Mach, it probably would take less than an hour to get EMC running the machine. I know I've gotten steppers spinning in less than an hour, and that was from the state where everything was in a box and I had to scrounge for wire. And I'm sure there are some industrial users that are quietly using EMC without telling us. Eric
