That's my fault -- I'm the FAQ maintainer, but I've been a wee bit busy over the past few months, er, the past year, so I haven't had time to update it. (I hardly even have time to post to a.a-a any more ... sigh.) However, some rummaging through my things-which-I'm-going-to-put-in-the-FAQ-one-day folder reveals the following links to various converters. (And I've just checked all these links, so they should work for you.)
