Release 6.0
Added better "Manual Tool Change" support when a tool isn't in your tool rack. Set the manual tool change location once. When a tool request comes up that isn't in the rack, the machine will move to the manual tool change location and wait for you to install the next tool. Hit Continue to continue executing the GCode after you do the change.

Release 5.2
Fixes an issue with the Gage and Block height not working.
Release 5.1
Fixes a potential crash if you have an 8" z travel and the change starts very close to the rack with a long bit.
Release v5
Fixes a potential crash issue with the 8" ball screw height; the x/y position now targets in front of the rack and then continues. Otherwise, the bit would possibly hit if the change started from the side close by the rack.
Release V4
Added support for adding an air pressure check before doing the tool change.

Release 3.0
General directions are on my Corbin's Treehouse blog:
https://www.corbinstreehouse.com/blog/avid-cnc-atc-automatic-tool-changer-with-mach-4/
Support for more than 10 tools in the UI via "next 10" and "previous 10" buttons. Support for automatically loading the tool names to the main page buttons via the tool file. The code pulls the first 5 characters, or it looks for a sub-string surrounded by brackets to use as the label. IE:
3/8" Spiral Downcut Amana xx333 [3/8 Dwn]
The string "3/8 Dwn" will be used for the label.
Release 2.0
Various fixes; no one really was using v1 except myself.
v2 adds case pressurization as an option.
