Hi Reuben,
Mach4 has already been released http://www.machsupport.com/software/mach4/ and some of us are using it successfully despite the understandable delay in getting all the external motion controller software’s up to full functionality. It all takes time, and it is still early days yet, but it will get there in the end.
As for your particular problem of the non-recognizable characters – perhaps if you used a CAD / CAM software which has a Mach3 post –processor you would not have to resort to ‘cleaning’ the Gcode files before passing them to Mach3. Just a thought.
Tweakie.
