I think I'm leaning the same way at this point. Based on what I've
seen so far, I don't trust the converter. Luckily it was a major
screw-up, so it was easy to spot. I was just looking for a little
easier and quicker way to convert rather than manually doing it.

In any case, I've submitted a small test application that fails
conversion to Magic support and they say they will forward it on to
Ocean. We'll see what comes out.
