Such a tool comes with WP5.2/Win.  The macro facility has a
built-in conversion capability.  You should find the macro facility 
(MFWIN.EXE) in your WPC subdirectory.  Run it from the RUN command in File 
Manager or Program Manager (well, that's not how I do it, since I don't use 
File Manager or Program Manager, but I think
either will do).  The procedure should seem obvious.
Unless your macros are very simple and straightforward, you will
not be happy with the results.  I have little experience with it, but I know 
what this this conversion capability is widely
considered to be almost useless.  I know that years ago some people were 
talking about writing better conversion programs, but I don't know that 
anyone ever did.  It is not an easy problem to solve.
