Well, if Nathan's never used the utility and is going only on the word
of others, why does it surprise you that he can't give a full-fledged
endorsement of the product?

Considering that this discussion has revolved around changing filetypes,
I'm surprised that only one utility was mentioned.  When I do use a Mac,
I use "File Fanatic 1.1" to change filetypes...

Gotten from the AOL archives, it may be available other places as well.
