I stand corrected -- I should have said the "best on W95".

Command line systems are not the best for Windows, where execution requires
opening a shell and dealing with the terrible W95 implementation of the
command line interface.  And GUI based packages often impede rather than
assist usage on UNIX, where command-line shells are highly developed
and quite convenient.  So there is no single "best" code for all
systems.

But to return to the original question -- many converters exist.
