CNC lathe toolpath software?

Hi Folks,

Well, just got my ORAC lathe working (in the basic most ways - spindle
and motor axis all work), but now I'm a bit stuck on what is essentially
a basic problem.
What software do you use to design toolpaths for CNC lathes? I'm pretty
happy with what I'm using for my CNC mill, but I've never even looked at
the CAM side for CNC lathes.
Searching google turns on endless crap, so I thought I'd ask here before
running off to download endless hideous demo apps (inevitably corrupting
system DLL's etc..)

BTW> I'll update my blog later on with the new ORAC work.

Regards,
Abby
