    Michael,

    here is a section of one of my tape files.

    (CUTTER_DIAM : 0.187500)

    G91G28Z0.

    G90G49

    M01

    T8

    M6

    S8900M3

    If this is what you are looking for I would need to see the post to see why it isn't outputting like this. It's a pretty straight forward post file that I am using.

    Steve
