Exclamation Need help to modfy the MPLFAN.PST in Mastercam 9.1

HI postprocessor Gurus

I need help as stated above. There are a couple of things i need to change to work with my controller(Mach3).

#1. Tool change and tool offset output. Current output is T0101
as in Tool 1 Offset 1

Output needs to be: T1 being the tool number
G43 H1 being the tool offset

Same go's for ending to cancel: T1
G49 H1 Canceling the offset

#2. G32 command Current output G32 Xxx Yyy Eee
E being the pitch of the thread.

Output needs to be: G32 Xxx Yyy Fff
F being the pitch as feed per rev.

#3. G76 command

Output needs to be:
G76 Xxx Zzz Jjj Kkk Qqq Ppp Hhh Iii Lll Ccc Bbb Ttt

Where X=EndX Mandatory
Z=EndZ Mandatory
J=StartX
K=StartZ
Q= spring passes
P=Pitch or lead of thread
H=# of passes for thread
I= infeed Angle
L=Chamfer
C=Clearance
B=Depth of last pass
T=Taper

Any help will be apreciated.I would prefer directions on how to change the post rather than one that has been changed.It is the only way to learn when you do it your self.

Thanks
