Unless you can turn off macro's you may find none will work just
right. (I've not downloaded it)

Dynapath controller stuff, or just plain old Linuxcnc stuff are about
the closest. Having said that, both have limitations and omissions,
and unless it supports post-processing you may need to a bit of GCode
tweaking.

Isn't everything ;) Mastercam must be the most convoluted and
un-intuative program I've ever had the misfortune to come across!

Your probably gonna have to try all four and adjust accordingly ;)
