[mfg-smartcam] Coding from different versions

[Michael Senack]

Heres my problem...

This is the proven code for the letter "S" from the attached .pm4 & .jof
files
for our Bostomatic with the SPC II control.
On this mill we code absolute center coorindates with 90 degree quadrants.
This job was program and coded using SmartCAM V4.5

Exhibit A:

N345G1X-1.7365Y0.4682 <-- end
N350 G1Z0.05R

I then had to reprogram this job to our Hurco mill with an OM Fanuc control.
On this mill we code 90 degree quadrants with incremental center
coordinates.
So I changed the Job Plan .jsf file and recoded it using SmartCAM V4.5 .

For some silly reason there's an extra line of code! 
Thus a silly "S" on the Hurco.
So I brought this into SmartCAM V11.5 and coded it for the Hurco.
Ran it, and it works!

G01X-1.8359                                 <-- how come this is g01?

X-1.7399Y0.4731I0.0J-0.1081
G01X-1.7365Y0.46

There's no funny line at the start, and there's a G01 line.
Hmmm...Why?
