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.


All the best,


David
