Hi, I have an old Wolverine mill and I have located an old file with *.PPC extension. I have a feeling it has all of the machines setup information. Does anyone know what program will open it?
Thanks so much.

OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=C:\
OUTPUT_EXTENSION=*.CNC
EDIT=Y
DEFXYFEED=20
DEFZFEED=10

DEFXACCURACY=0.0005
DEFYACCURACY=0.0005
DEFZACCURACY=0.0005

That looks like a post processor that would be used for making code suitable for your machine  in a CAM programme.
