According to Wikipedia (yeah, really), there is a converter for OOo 
for this, so hopefully it will trickle down/across to LO for those
who came out of the stone age (like me) and still use old tools
(unlike me :-).


Not sure where Wikipedia got that info, Multimate does not appear in any
filter lists for OOo 3.x or OOo 2.x:

<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Filter/FilterList_OOo_2_1>

However, Multimate (the commercial Sun version of OOo) filters do appear
in StarOffice 7 & 8:

<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Filter/FilterList_SO_7>

<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Filter/FilterList_SO_8>

So it's possible that they also appear in the StarOffice 9 and the most
recent Oracle commercial version (I've not checked my SO9).
