| ======== ========== ===========================
| Tony M  22/06/2005 Written
| Brian M 08/07/2005 Modified to output feed units correctly
| Brian M 14/07/2005 Modified to output 6 d.p
| Brian M 16/06/2006 Added NEW_SEGMENT section
|                    in case new tool has different 
|                    feedrates to first tool
| Brian M 14/07/2006 Added circular arc support
| ScottJ  31/10/2007 setup file for PartWorks to keep look consistant
| ScottJ  12/05/2009 Fixed issue with mutiple toolpaths not remaining at Safe Z 
| Mark M 30/11/2009	 Added new 5.5 variables
