Chris,
I want to be able to run a cl file the same as a g code file. This
will require an interpreter for the cl file.
The format is something like this:

If Emc would interpret this file then any (and there are a lot)
programming system that would output a cl file could be used as a
programming front end to run the machine. This would eliminate the
need for a post processor as the cl file is the file a post processor
uses to create the g code file. Catia, NCL, Mastercam, Unigraphics,
SmartCam, Esprit, any cam system that will output a cl file would
directly control the machine. I think (but don't know) that most cam
systems will put out a cl file.
Just another thought to give us something to do.
thanks
Stuart
