Terry,
That does sound like a good day!

What they really mean is that only about 50 of the flavors are
RELEVANT to them, IMO.
BTW, If a code is consistant with others in part, but not completely,
is it a new flavor? How many codes have to be different to consider
it a new flavor?
EXAMPLE:
G04 P 2.5 (pause for 2.5 seconds)
G04 Q 2.5 (pause for 2.5 seconds)
G04 P 2500 (pause for 2.5 seconds)
G04 R 02500 (pause for 2.5 seconds)
ALL of the above codes do the same thing on 'their respective
controls. All will require a different post processor to use one with
another control... ALL are real gcodes. :-0
Hope this helps.
