I think I've mentioned this before but just in case...
Try:
openssl rsa -inform NET -in file.key -out key.pem
Some of these 'key' files have some header stuff in there so if this
doesn't work get a binary editor and look for the string "private-key"
trace back to the hex bytes 30 82 then save from that point onwards to
another file and try the command again.
