Yeah that's what I meant. I actually decided to move out stepover in X and
then stepover in X, giving 45 deg total change in tool pos. Then it would
do the rectilinear moves for that stepover and repeat again.

I'd bet your prog will compile in C++ w/ no changes. I was curious about
why you used scanf() and then getch(); is that to fully flush the input
buffer? I use fflush(stdin) but C++ I think is said to be self-flushing.
