First, find out what type of 'standard' G-code type of control your machine conforms to e.g. Fanuc 0,12, 16 or Hitachi,Fagor etc or if it has any unique M or G codes that it uses.
Most CAM programs have post-processor for different machines or have the ability to modify one for your use. All a post processor is is a program that converts the CAM drawing and tool specs/paths etc and converts it to the specific G & M codes used by your controller. As a last resort, you could pass it through a post processor that is close and list out the program in a word processor and make the neccessary changes by editing, and make sure you save the result as an ASCII text document.
