The EMC web site is back to being publicly available, at :
http://www.isd.mel.nist.gov/projects/emc/
There isn't a whole lot of info on the GUI specifically, and some of it may
be out of date. You can see a screen dump at :
http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~jmelson/EMC.html
Which is from my version of EMC, a couple of months old.

EMC is a LOT more than just the GUI component of it, however.
It has motion control, path planning, and G-code interpretation
sections that are much more involved than the GUI.

If you have specific questions, ask away in this forum, as either
I, Matt Shaver or Fred Proctor (or others) will be able to answer it.
