The guy claims 0.0178 mm (0.000700787402 in) per step.
For simulation, you could connect a few switches to the parport
with appropriate pull-up resistors. You've probably got an old printer
cable lying around that you could cut up and trace out (with an Ohmmeter)
a few pins for ground, +5 and some inputs.
While you're at it, you could also hang some

As Jon said, EMC uses G-Code but many CAD programs have the ability
to export in DXF format. If you can do this, then check out:

I've thrown at it.
Funny, I never noticed that!
The website is in German but the program is in English.

You should be able to substitute bigger output transistors and emitter/source
resistors for the originals. You might have to go to a lower resistance for the
resistors to trick the drive into not going into protection. Halving

Why do you need them on different pins?
You could wire two NO switches in parallel or two NC switches in series.
Each set would be handled by a single pin.

EMC has provisions for soft limits set in the ini file, hard limit

serve as Home switches) and E(mergency)-Stop switches.

Try using a text editor such as 'PSPad'. It will respect extensions

For instance, is setp stepgen.0.stepspace 1000 absurdly wrong?
Or does that mean 1 microsecond?

There is a fellow in Germany that has come up with a DXF to gcode converter
