Thanks for suggesting this.  I do mention that converter in the next
version (have it in my working draft), but I'd like people who used this
to post their experience, because the restrictions seem to imply that many
.LIB files won't convert. 

Anyway, the basic assertion is still true: you cannot mix the two 
formats, and I bet most of the code, if and when converted, will crash 
your program, because it wasn't written for the flat memory model.
