file-conversion program

file-conversion program
   An application that converts a file from one format to another without altering the contents of the file.
   The conversion may be between the formats of two applications that use the same operating system (such as between two different Microsoft Windows word processors) or between the formats of applications from different operating systems. Applications are also available that convert a graphical image from one file format to another.
   Many of the applications that change a Macintosh file into a PC-compatible file, or vice versa, consist of two programs running simultaneously on two physically connected computers. MacLink Plus from Data Viz and LapLink Mac from Traveling Software are two examples of this type of file-conversion program.
