thank you.

MAstercam C-Hooks are written in the C programming language.

Well, specifically, CNC Software uses Visual C++ 6.0 to develop Mastercam.

The post customization file (.pst) for MP-style posts uses its own language.

To hop on Dave's band-wagon, and add a bit, even though the posts are a language of their own, they are similar in structure to C. You have variables, format statements, string selects, etc...

The C-Hooks and Mastercam as an Application were what I was referring to in my previous post. DOH!

From what I've seen, the Mastercam Post language reminds me of a blend of old-school Pascal (not Object Pascal found in Borland Delphi) and IBM's AML robotics programming language.

Does anyone know the tools that were used to make the post language? Maybe Lex and Yacc?

Did you know that Mastercam was once written in Pascal? I think it was Turbo Pascal.

Dave Eno,

Would that have been Version 1 or 2? I was still in High School when those versions were released.

I believe it. Pascal was a very powerful programming language. And it lives on as Object Pascal in Borland Delphi (Windows) and Borland Kylix (Linux). If it wasn't for Borland, I think Pascal would've disappeared. In case anyone wonders...no, I don't work for Borland

I think Version 4 was the first version written in C.
