I think the screenshots (http://www.hcnc.sk/ponuka.html and mailing list)
show an interesting user interface It uses axis tabs to hold a background image of a task. The image is an isometric drawing of a job to be cut. The image is overlaid with tcl numeric entries. Dimensions on the image have names ( APT like). These number values are passed to an ngc file that has named variables and uses o-words. The method is a user friendly super-macro. (the numbers and the program make a visual parametric system ) This idea is handy for work that varies just a little each eun. An operator can adjust the program within constraints. I think the idea is clever and useful. One screen shot appears to show a wooden door that gets a pocket in one side to receive a lock ( my guess) The pocket's location and dimensions are editable fields on the tab image. Often in industry, there are arguments for and against programming o the shop floor / on the machine. This approach appears to allow the operator to modify the work, with guidance. I hope we hear more about this. TomP
