  AFAIK i have not seen this utility on this site.
  the converter is part of 2.53 or 2.54 just open .frf in fr2.5# designer and save as .fr3 file. NOTE That the converter does not export vertical "cross data bands"
  and many bits of generated code may need to be modified, or relocated to different events.
  Before opening a converted .fr3 file make sure your fr3 design environment
  has freeband placement option checked.

  Paolo:
  
  I downloaded the converter and scanned it with F-Prot and McAfee antivirus. Neither found a problem. I don't think the converter has a virus.
  
  I have not used the converter yet. I don't know if it works.

  If you follow the Download link from the main fast-report.com page, the converter is near the bottom of the Downloads page.

  Gord, Thanks for pointing out the new date. I originally downloaded the converter a few weeks ago. That was the version I scanned for viruses. I just downloaded the newer version (11 Jan) and scanned again with the same result - no viruses.
  
  While I was wandering around the FR 3 Downloads page, I noticed that the Help files are now available. Hooray!
