    Mach3 Router Screen.

    As I mentioned last week, I was throwing together a router Screen for Mach3. This should have all the functions needed for a router, without all the extra clutter in the standard mach3 screens. I haven't really tested it, but I think everything is working.

    There is no toolpath on the Run screen. The reason for this is that CPU usage is about 75% lower without the toolpath on the screen, and when your cutting, you're usually looking at the machine, not the screen. This should make this screen run better on slower PC's than the standard screens.

    Unzip all the .png files to Mach3\Bitmaps\Router\ and put the Router.set file in the mach3 folder. It's setup for spindle to use Output 1 and Coolant Output 2.

    Let me know if there are any issues and I'll fix em up.

    Also, here's the Real Draw Pro files if anyone wants to modify the Screens (you'll need RealDraw Pro).
