Now that would be perfect! Not sure about getting the lastest development version, think I'll wait for the release.

btvpimill,
The correct code needs to be written as a number ie: o001
And you need at least one g0 in there:
....And I think it wants to be in g90 mode to work correctly...
o001.ngc (saved where the ini file points as the prefix)
call as (from MDI for instance):
o001 call

You can call a file called 101.ngc containing a sub declared with o101 SUB using o101 call, as you describe.
But you can also call a file called fred.ngc containing a sub defined by o<fred> SUB with the G-code line o<fred> CALL.
ie, the sub name must match the name of the file it is in, and the sub name can be either numeric or alphanumeric, as long as the alphanumeric name is enclosed in <chevrons>.

Ok, I will have to try this again, it seemed that when I tried it, there was some error displayed... I will try again later with maybe more consistancy =)

Is there a way to not have the coordinate revert back to g54 when the program ends? Because now the tool change sub's work nicely, but say G56 is active, then program ends. G54 becomes active and if I don't remember to switch - ooh-la-la!!

Is there a G54 somewhere in the code? Calling a subroutine shouldn't switch the coordinate system unless explicitly told to do so.

This turned out to be a case of ESO (equipment smarter then operator)
