Lathe software once again

While we're on this topic, I've been looking for a lathe type software but I need the following:

The dimensions cannot use decimal places, i.e. 3.15 needs to be written as 31500

I need to be able to define a bar pulling sequence.

The lathe that I'm using has (I think) an odd way of handling tool offsets and so the program looks like:

T100 (Call tool without offset)
G00X0Y0T101 (The 101 specifies tool # 100 with offset 01)
Cut part
HomeT100 (Go back to the home position without the offset)

I also use the Block Delete a lot.

The spindle has 32 speeds so I need to be able to specify high or low range (M38 and M39) and then the speed (S1 through S16).

Any ideas, suggestions and/or advice are welcome.

Thanks

Ethan
