If you install Octave, you could use this that I wrote for the job:
function Excellon2Gcode(filename)
i = 1;
C = [];
f = fopen(filename, 'r');
o = fopen([filename '.ngc'],'w');
do
buffer = fgetl(f);
if buffer != -1
[coords count] = sscanf(buffer,'X%fY%f');
if count == 2
C = [C,coords];
end
end
until feof(f)
xfactor = -25.4/1000
yfactor = -25.4/1000
fprintf(o,'G90\nF20\nS1000\nM3\n')
for i = 1:length(C)
fprintf(o,'G98 G81 R0.2 X%4.4f Y%4.4f
Z-3\n',C(1,i)*xfactor,C(2,i)*yfactor)
end
fprintf(o,'M2\n')
fclose(f);
fclose(o);
[num2str(length(C)) ' Holes written to file ' filename '.ngc']
end

The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong.
