[Bdi4emc-help] configuring ini file

Wed Dec 6 18:21:04 CET 2006

Paul, currently I run a very nice Dos program, Desknc. In this program I 
can home all axises
simultaneously whenever I want it. I want Emc to do the same.
All my limits are ganged up in series - will work with one input.
How hard is it to recompile Emc?
More then one command?
