I'm not Robin, but Turbocnc is my controller of choice. I have been using it since about 2000. I used it for quite a while before I registered it. It is fully functional when you download it. Registration gives you access to the source code so you can make your own changes. It is written in pascal and compilers are available as freeware. Doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it gets the job done and as far as I am concerned, it does it quite well.

Thanks, handy to know it works okay, I think I still have Borland Turbo Pascal for DOS so might still be useful and I have a 5 1/4 floppy drive for the media but don't know if it will work with Windows 7.

The current version requires full blown boraland 7 (which can be had at <http://vetusware.com/download/Pascal%207.01/?id=3724>. I don't remember the reason Turbopascal won't work, but that is what the authors told me. V7 and windows7 won't cooperate either, so you will need to run that in a virtual box.
There are also more recent compilers out there that should work but I haven't tried them yet.
