Hi David,

I noticed your post and thought maybe ii-to-mac in the following list of
descriptions at Shareware.com might be what you want? Open this window wide
to read the descriptions correctly.  I downloaded ii-to-mac it with the
same intention in mind. It looks a little complicated since I don't know
programming much at all, but it might be as simple as following the list of
steps given in the docs.
