Status: offline 		Are .dat files just written in a text editor like Note Pad or Word? If I write my own code in a text editor, will it work the same? I need to use these files on a CNC foamcutter. Thanks.

Status: offline 		The dat files are indeed just simple text files that you can create or modify using a simple text editor. It's the format that's important. The programs that use this data are expecting certain numbers and spaces at the right places.

I've added a couple of files myself for special cases and never had a problem.
