>Pull the memcal from the ECM and plug the emulator in instead : right ?

Yes

>How do ya make the emulator do the job of the memcal ?

That is what it's job is.

>does it need programming ?

Yes, it needs the same info/bin file as the original memcal.

>is a 'bin' a binary file ?

It has it's own software to run, but needs a bin file to use as the info for 
the memcal.

>Would someone send me a 'bin' so's I can see what you are playing with ?

At the FTP there's literally a 100 bin files.

>What is the favourite editing software ?

I've used GMpro with excellent results, and support.
I've used The Turbo Shop, which has fallen to no support
I've heard, but not used Ken Kelly's stuff for the flash has some happy 
customers.
You need an editor for the particular application your working on.

I've been working on that!!, I've got 14 months done, but not ready for 
prime time yet.  Some months edit from 3M to 1, so lots of time, and reading 
is needed to strip out all the nonsense, and early postings so that each 
thread is about complete, in it's self.  I'd loaded the archives to disc and 
brought them to the hospital, but turns out I can't edit each disc with this 
laptop without running out of room, so for 4 months I haven't been able to 
work on it.  But I've got, copied to CD what is done. So it's not going to 
get lost.
I just need to get home to the "PC"..
