If you have modified a machine or post I believe the uninstaller wont delete it..I would have to double check that. When you re-install the installer will not replace any files that are newer than...

There is a HaasVF.MillPst post that gets installed. The posts that are new and go with the new machines are the BC_ machines and posts. I will post more in a bit when I pull out my laptop.
