I'm thinking it might be possible for software like LCNC to do things like
translate complex moves the mill's controller doesn't have into combinations of
things it can do that would produce the same end result.
But first thing would be to just get it feeding the mill code it understands so
that old computers running DOS and ancient EMS can be done away with.

I am not sure that you have ever explicitly asked anyone to. I thought you
were trying to do it yourself.

Though this does sound like DNC to an embedded controller, which isn't
usually considered a good fit for LinuxCNC.
