There's another program ( http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/emcinfo.pl?Simple_EMC_G-Code_Generators#Text_Engraving_Software) which is useable as an AXIS filter program. Basically, you place special commands a within g-code file, and save with a special extension. Axis will look up which filter handles that extension, feed the file to the filter program, and read its output as the gcode file.
However, that page doesn't explain what commands that program will filter.
