+Fix Autodesk CAM General LabVolt code to work with LabVolt M600 Mills
+
+This probably requires some generalisation before it works with all setups
+
+Code is heavily commented, but a basic knowledge of regex is required still
+
+Consider it a dirty hack until proven otherwise
+
+Current features:
+	Moves G00 to the front of the line when necessary
+	Changes T# codes to M06 # codes
+	Changes S#### M3 to M03 S####
+	Removes all M1 codes
+
+Usage: python ConvertScript.py <file>
