You can open them w/wordpad or notepad. Once you've seen one maybe you can figure it out. (i.e. what to change etc.)

p.s. they usually have the ext. .pst

Many systems do have a book or CD available with post processor info and how to write/modify them. But each system uses different booleans, syntax, variables, etc. You can edit posts (as mentioned before) with notepad or any editor program you use. Over the years, I've figured them out by simply by looking them over and coming to an understanding of how its written. If you want a book, call your dealer or go to the parent website of your system and you can ask for copy. Most of them are free but some do charge.

What software is the post for? Is make s difference if it's for edgecam, mastercam, gibbs. What system do you have?

Some are text files that cam be edited, some are compiled.

if you choose to open, copy and paste to new file before making any changes as Mike Mattera said you can figure it out. your software may be able to edit post for you
