    Tweaking the HH430 postprocessor

    I'm trying to tweak processor for Heidenhaim 430 so it would accept arcs. I've tried various entries in

    *CW_ARC_MOTION*

    *CCW_ARC_MOTION*

    etc.without success. It seems like those have not been taken into consideration at all. Maybe it is just that I haven't entered correct values as HH codes are different.
    Any suggestions how this should look like?
