Bruce, it's been a while, but I remember performing the conversion that you
want to do.  I converted the Punter file transfer protocol from PAL format
to CBM format and then from there to MAE.  As I recall, I dumped the PAL
stuff as an SEQ file, then ran a program to strip the line numbers (after
I had edited out line number references).  I have a couple of small Basic
programs, CBM-MAE and MAE-CBM which will perform the conversion from/to
the SEQ format.  I'm sure you wouldn't have any trouble gleaning the MAE
file format from the program code.  

Unfortunately, the stuff is at home on my lonely C64, so, if I remember, I'll
upload text versions of the two programs.  If you don't see anything in a
day or so, send me mail to jog my memory.
