G83 With IJK for Prototrak Post Processor

G83 With IJK for Prototrak Post Processor

Hi, I recently noticed that when outputting cam using the "Deep drilling - full retract" cycle, the prototrak post processor ignores the pecking depth reduction and minimum pecking depth fields and just outputs a G83 with the initial pecking depth in the "Q" argument - obviously this is terrible behavior and caused me to break a drill.  Our Prototrak TMC7 says it will accept IJK arguments to G83, see: https://www.southwesternindustries.com/media/manuals/31550_manual.pdf?rev=154646 (Page 173)  I'm (slowly) working on modifying the post processor to handle this, but I'm not much of a programmer and if someone can knock this out in a few minutes it would be a big help.  Post attached.  Thanks!
