A wonderful idea, Ryan, but I couldn't get it to work.
I downloaded CommentConverter (free) and opened it up, but when I
dragged 2 files to the icon, the message was:
Files processed: 2
Comments converted: 0
So there must be some trick to it maybe which I haven't found. Any
ideas, anyone?

Hi David,
I seem to remember using this little program when I changed to Mac OS X:
