I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I cannot search as the words 'DNC' and 'XP' are rejected as too short by the search engine 
I need to equip an old Panasonic Toughbook CF-50 running XP-Professional with a DNC program to allow me to take back ups from a Siemens 820T control on site (for comparison purposes rather than security (*)).
In my (home) workshop I run a purchased copy of DNC4U which I find very good, but for this exercise it's far too expensive to purchase another copy as it'll only be used once or twice.
Are there any good, free, down loadable DNC simple programs out there that will run on XP?
(* I'm resurrecting an old lathe in my home workshop with a Sinumerik 820T control that originally had the M19 spindle orientation facility, it now doesn't work, probably due to a non set option bit, my acquaintances machine has the facility so I want to compare dumps at my leisure rather thsn on their site!)
