Can you mirror and rotate EIA toolpaths on Mazak M32 control

Anybody know how to do this or if it's possible? This machine has a small memory but if there's a way to program a quadrant then mirror and rotate the g code I can perhaps use more dynamic toolpaths on the machine.

I don't know the control personally and the guy who's running it doesn't know it well either. :(

here is another way

stuff all the code on the hard drive as sub programs and call with a main program in memory

(MAIN  PROGRAM)
G28G40G80G91Z0

(#500 SEQUENCE NUMBER)
(SET #500 TO 100 TO START)  
GOTO#500


N500
(T1 3/8 BALL DIJET)
G91 G28 Z0.
G30 Y0.
G30 X0.
M220T1
G65P500
#500=501
G91 G28 Z0.
G30 Y0.
G30 X0.
M01

N501
(T2 11/64 BALL ENDMILL)
G91 G28 Z0.
G30 Y0.
G30 X0.
M220T2
G65P501
#500=502
G91 G28 Z0.
G30 Y0.
G30 X0.
M01

The only M32 we have does have G68 coord rotation but does not have mirror.  Both, I understand, were options.  Having said that, everything else I have had my hands on from Fusion had the option but it was an option on the options screen.  I don't know how to get to that screen on an M32 but you should be able to find it see real quick if it has it.
