I can't stand using any CAM system that isn't APT based. I use and own Catia V5 in my business, and it is basically APT on steroids on steroids. All the 5-axis motion was coded by NCCS (NCL).

It seems like it's still a work in progress. It appears to be a first release to show us what is possible in the future...and I'm liking it very much. As for debug, error, testing...well- I ran a...
WPCView by Technisoft is 100% free. It will even backplot 5-axis aptsource files. You can insert STL models, and build solid cutters. It works great.

It is Compact II with graphics, and will run on Windows.
There is also a DOS and...
Check this out. They have a quote package that looks promising, and is only $125.
