David,
	I'm still looking.  A couple of people have responded, indicating
that they're developing such a package, but so far noone has come through
with anything concrete.
The two individuals developing conversion packages mentioned that they
will post to one of the comp.sources groups on completion.  

	In the meantime, how do I get up with "Jef Poskanzer's version
on expo" ?    (The mailer on hp-sdd kicked back my e-mail to you!)

	Thanks,
	Robert Heath
