    POST altering hELP

    Hello, All been a while. We have a older copy of GibbsCAM 9.#.# I dont remember, We havent paid maintenance for about 5 years now, When I was hired this place already stopped paying maintenance and they have a POST for their Milltronics 3 axis mills, and it works fine except for 1 thing, the tap is set to G84 instead of G88, Is there a way to change this, I have been doing some research and digging around, I got a hold of Compost, and PosteHAste, I found a big sweaty handfull of hundreds of post processors with their compost text files with them, but I dont have the text file for the post they use here, and I dont want to try to learn compost programming, I did track down a pdf on programming POSTS with Compost, but at a quick glance seemed involved, I have a C++ programming background but this seemed like some knowledge was missing, but that was a quick run through, anyway, any help is appreciated.

    Without the .txt file, you are screwed, because you need both to open the .pst file in Compost.
    Once you have it open, it will be under forms/drilling.
    Change the G84 to G88 and you are good to go.
