So, what is the problem? The first line is a bit odd. After that, these lines
are definitely "G-code", aka RS-274D.

G00 is rapid feed
G01 is a cutting feed at 100 IPM
line N4 has a feed without a move, not allowed in EMC and other
CNC programs.
Oh, N0 has a rapid feed to Z=+25, if that is inches, most machines
won't have that much travel!

If your complaint is that the X-3 Y1 is repeated, I wonder if there is some
setting telling it to only send one digit. I notice all the coordinates are
in even inches, no fraction, and that sounds odd. So, check if there is a
set precision option, or something similar.
