I wrote some G-code readers for other projects that could read in one
format and
put out another. i was generally converting modern G-code with decimals to
the old, fixed-format, leading zero suppressed format, and similar
things. I also have
some that convert Gerber photoplotter G-code to milling machine G-code.
What
I have was written in Turbo Pascal. If that is of any use to you, I
could send you
a few of these programs. It would be pretty easy to read in the inch
coordinates
and multiply any I,J, K, R, X, Y and Z words by 25.4, and then write it
all back out.
