yes. i wrote one recently. it is very simple. just swap bytes in all
word/long values. i thought i might have posted it with manpager, but
maybe not. if you can't write your own, mail me and i'll post it. now
that i think of it (since i don't have GDOS), i wrote it the other way
'round (GDOS .fnt -> GEM .fed). still, the transform is symmetrical in
that applying it twice gives the original file. GDOS uses (goofy) intel
byte order...
