I use a shareware utility called FileTyper to create a range of
Macintosh auto-typers - these are tiny applications (32k each) on to
which you can drag & drop files and folders to convert into specified
file types. It is an excellent piece of shareware, well worth the
$10 asking price! Using this I have a tiny app that converts any
drag&drop files/folder content into Mac MetaCard stacks by setting
the Mac creator and file type attributes to be the same as that of a
sample real Mac MetaCard stack.
You can get hold of FileTyper from:

I use FileTyper to create a range of "auto-typers" for conversion of
PC to Mac text files (BBEdit typed), Excel, Word, etc.
