A much improved version of my automatic translator has been 
posted to this page which can handle messages 1-4, including 
number formats and images.  It has a user defined dictionary 
at the start of the .c file which allow customisation.

I find it useful as a first pass parser, it takes as arguments 
file names and outputs to stdout.

Have we conclud that 'p' is equivalent to radius as in 
message3

016  |  :RADIUS: :EQ: 2 :EQ:  :RADIUS: | 
017  | 
  # # #  
 # - - # 
# - - - #
 # - - # 
  # # #  
 | 

If so, q and r must be start and end angles of an arc ...
018  |  :RADIUS: :EQ: 2 :EQ:  :RADIUS: | 
019  |  :START: :EQ: ang0ang :EQ:  :START: | 
020  |  :END: :EQ: ang108ang :EQ:  :END: | 
021  | 
  - - -  
 - - - - 
# - - - #
 # - - # 
  # # #  

If this is true, it leaves the wierd early section of the 
message as

006  | X :SIN: ang18ang :SIN: X | 
007  | 10 :DIV<: X :DIV<:  :RADIUS: | 
008  |  :RADIUS: :EQ: 1.285 :EQ:  :RADIUS: | 
009  | X :SIN: ang36ang :SIN: X | 
010  | 5 :DIV<: X :DIV<:  :RADIUS: | 
011  |  :RADIUS: :EQ: 18 :EQ:  :RADIUS: | 

Which says

x=sin 18     (sin 30deg=-0.988)
radius/10=x  (radius=10*x =-9.8)
radius=1.285

Which makes no sense, I like the tan idea, but don't see how
it can be made to work ?
