Post processor files are missing?

I always use the same custom PP that was made for me by a friend. Today I had a Haas salesman in my shop I am looking at buying a Haas VMC and he asked if my CAD program had a PP for Haas when I opened the drop down it was empty except the one I use for my router. How do I find all the ones that used to be in there? I want to check and see if they have a PP for Haas? I wonder how I lost all the PP that used to be in that folder?

Thanks Gary you are a fountain of knowledge as usual.

It doesn't look like they have one for inch with ATC. This is what I show in my folder.

Mike...
The HAAS inch post has the toolchange section in it, but doesn't have the arcs. I would use the inch version and copy and paste the arc section in from the arc/mm post.

But the machine, you'll get a good working post

Thanks Gary.

I opened the Haas_arc_atc_mm.pp and opened the The Haas_inch.pp in note pad to look at them it looks like the easiest way to make a PP for inch with arc & ATC would be to modify the Haas_arc_atc_mm.pp to inches by changing the naming and changing the call out for G21 and change it to G20 then rename the PP to Haas_arc_inch.pp am I missing anything?

I also noticed this part was different from MM to inches. I changed the post to read [1.4] instead of [1.3] was that correct?

MM reads
VAR LINE_NUMBER = [N|A|N|1.0]
VAR SPINDLE_SPEED = [S|A|S|1.0]
VAR FEED_RATE = [F|C|F|1.1]
VAR X_POSITION = [X|C|X|1.3]
VAR Y_POSITION = [Y|C|Y|1.3]
VAR Z_POSITION = [Z|C|Z|1.3]
VAR X_HOME_POSITION = [XH|A|X|1.3]
VAR Y_HOME_POSITION = [YH|A|Y|1.3]
VAR Z_HOME_POSITION = [ZH|A|Z|1.3]
VAR ARC_CENTRE_I_INC_POSITION = [I|A|I|1.3]
VAR ARC_CENTRE_J_INC_POSITION = [J|A|J|1.3]

inches reads
VAR LINE_NUMBER = [N|A|N|1.0]
VAR SPINDLE_SPEED = [S|A|S|1.0]
VAR FEED_RATE = [F|C|F|1.1]
VAR X_POSITION = [X|C|X|1.4]
VAR Y_POSITION = [Y|C|Y|1.4]
VAR Z_POSITION = [Z|C|Z|1.4]
VAR X_HOME_POSITION = [XH|A|X|1.4]
VAR Y_HOME_POSITION = [YH|A|Y|1.4]
VAR Z_HOME_POSITION = [ZH|A|Z|1.4]

This is where I changed the G21 to G20 but I noticed the inch pp did not have a call out I am guessing it assumes inches unless specified.
