Yes, it can. Louis can also be used to do this.
NFBTrans is a command-line application. This build has to be compiled and
installed, and I still have to learn to do this. There are instructions in the
readMe file, but they assume some knowledge of command-line. So as for my own
situation, I'll probably stick with Louis, as this build of NFBTrans has DOS
and unix files all mixed together and needs more tweaking than I know how to do.
