Andy, I can imagine that a format like T10.12 would work (tool 10, offset 12). What I think one really wants is to have code that will run on either a standard industrial control or LCNC. This means no . between geometry and offsets values. Others what are using this patch can chime in - I

One line lookahead is a little misleading. The limitation that Steve describes comes from the calculation of the suggested velocity for each line segment. The algorithm has the effect of clamping the machine velocity to a value from which the machine could decelerate to a controlled stop in

Viesturs, It depends what kind of machining you'll be doing - the forces in milling are lower than those in drilling. Based on some axis motor testing I did a couple years back, I would guess at a conservative estimate of around 250 lbs per spindle horse power for the worst-case machining
