Mach 4 laser post for raster type motion

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am looking for a post processor that will create laser capable G-code for a Mach 4 machine using Pokeys57CNC controller.  There several post that are partially functional. they use the M10, M11 commands. I was able to modify the Mach 3 Post to give fairly reliable vector results using M62,M63.  But the laser will not turn off during moves when I try using the pocket tool or adaptive clearing.  Seems like you could issue an M63 before every Z axis retract motion.  I would really like to use the pocket or adaptive clearing tool to create something like a raster path.  Does anyone have a post that would work.  I am not really inclined to rewrite an entire post processor for this.  Hopefully someone already has.
