You can get some of the benefit by just submiting a text file with all of your urls:
[google.com...]
If you don't have too many urls you can make this by hand.

Depending on the level of programming experience you have the format of the xml files is not very difficult to create in almost any language. I wrote one in C that reads my mySQL database as well as hand made text file to create and GZIP the sitemap files (I have over 250,000 pages in my database) as well as the sitemap index file to link the sitemap files together.

Type in "sitemap generator exe" into google, avoid all the crappy fake sites, and get a sitemap generating program. Load it, run it, and your home.

Thanks for all your replies,

I am not very technical, that is why Google sitemaps seems great for me. So it is possible for me to create another sitemap that will be acepted by google sitemaps.
AT the moment my site map is in asp and it is unsupported file format.

Have you any advice on how to explain to my developer what I need?

If you just want to get a list of links to other pages on your site from that page, say it's sitemap.asp you could do

lynx --dump http://www.example.com/sitemap.asp ¦ awk '/http\:\/\/.*\.example\.com/ {print $2}'

That will run on linux (or Cygwin on Windows).
That one's on the house ;)
