I you could load a gcode file for Mach to run... and I think there is a way to get Mach to run the file. I have not done this so it is only I think :)

I now mach can do lots of things. It has a vb scripting capabilty. But I have to develop my own software. Windows do not let me to pulse without a driver. I want to use mach driver is that possible?
