As far as I know, there is no need for any 'post processor' for EMC to
run a program
created in Bobcad/CAM V16.1, once the several options for arc
preferences, etc.
have been set. I don't change anything in the program, unless I want to
use cutter
length offset or cutter diameter compensation, whcih Bobcad doesn't
support.

The arc options I use are 180 degree maximum arcs, and R parameter
instead
of IJK.
