27.12.2011 Implemented a so-called "Map letters". Figuratively speaking this change of words from a template (for a G-code parser, ie the real G-code is not changed.) What is the meaning of this feature. Suppose you have an arc is defined as a SINUMERIK CR = radius. Writing in the settings of CR =-> R. Or suppose you have beguiled IJ. Writing I-> O; J-> I; O-> J

22.02.2011 Fixed some bugs with the arcs resulting from refactoring.
