[Emc-users] using m98 fanuc subprograms

[andrew b. <and...@gm...>]

hey guys

just looking for some info on how to use m98 fanuc subprograms on linuxcnc

I have someone that has a shop full of fanuc machines and i have
retrofitted a cnc machine for him last week.  he would love to be able to
use his old programs but has a m98 p8888 subprogram that needs to sit in
the subprogram folder in linuxcnc and get called up when desired.  all the
subprogram does is set a bunch of modal gcode stuff like G95 G17 etc

does anyone have any old programs working like this to show me and is
anyone using the m98 fanuc programs in linuxcnc here is the link to the
docs that shows that it should be possible


http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/o-code.html#ocode:fanuc-style-programs


regards
