Yep.  Jon's program offsets from whatever 0,0 it used for the first one.
What I can't for the life of me figure out is how Jon accomplished that
by setting g54 to that location and expected the other coordinate
settings to follow that.

I've reread all of the NIST interpreter publications and a good bit of
the original source this evening and there is no mention anywhere of g54
taking that sort of primacy.  The earliest interpreter report did
indicate that g54 could not be offset.  It was the machine origin.  That
was 1994.  By version two, the one that Jon and I were using in 2000 all
nine offsets had been implemented and g92 offset them all.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane.  I'll shut up now.
