Since a locally customised emc interpreter would need to be patched on each release, unless the enhancement is adopted by the distribution, it might be more convenient to put the gcode through a preprocessor before emc sees it. I've just put together a skeleton gcode preprocessor, with conversion of 'F' to 'K' on only G33 commands. If steve would like to try it, I'll shoot it across, rather than clutter the list with it, even though the initial one-trick implementation is only 52 lines, plus 22 lines of usage example. It outputs to a named pipe, so there is no need to employ a temporary file, unless emc2 has difficulties with the former.
