There's no need to go to all that trouble -- all you need is a very short plib program to load and resave with a different extension. I just typed one up and put it here (the tarball is 645 bytes): http://www.megginson.com/flightsim/3dconvert-0.1.tar.gz The usage is simple; to convert from AC3D to VRML, for example, you just type 3dconvert mymodel.ac mymodel.wrl Someone's probably put together a more sophisticated program with more options, etc. You'll discover very fast that plib has better support for some formats than for others.
