Post-processor for Rhino Grasshopper

Hi
I am trying to find a way of cheaply generating g code for my 5 axis router. There is a project called 5axismaker which seems to do the job via Rhino and the Grasshopper plugin.  I am able to make a file full of xyzbc coordinants, but it does not load in LCNC Axis.
Can anyone tell me how or where to get this to work? I imagine I need a post-processor, but my coding skills are none existent.
Thanks for reading
Aaron

Not surprising. Line 1 has invalid G code
Delete it.

I deleted the first line, now I'm getting 'Cannot go G1 with zero feed rate'

that is because there is no feedrate in the file.....
Fxxxxx

suspect that is down to your plugin or 5axis post processor

Thanks for all replies.
So attached is code generated from Rhino and Grasshopper that has a feed rate, but now I am getting the error:

Near line 2
?////?////??///Simisphere with feed rateRhino
Bad Character 'O' used

What bad character O?

How do I go about making a postprocessor to work with this?
Best wishes

The way there are line numbers, it should give an error also. You can use Nxxxx , but not 1.
Most editors show the line number anyway, so it is not really necessary to have them in the program file.
