You mean a simulation on the screen? EMC2 will do that, along
with actually controlling a machine. But you don't need the machine
control part active to do the simulation.

The price is certainly right -- free. And the license is the
GPL.

The only thing which you may not like is that it runs in linux
(actually, it comes packaged in linux, so you don't have to get that
separately, and it is available for download as the BDI (Brain Dead
Install) which you simply burn on a CD-ROM, and then stick it in an old
PC of whatever speed you want where you are willing to say goodbye (or
"good riddance" :-) to the Windows which was on it.

Enjoy,
DoN.
