Yes.  Many have tried.

I know of three of four different tools developed for this task,
but all are home-brewn ones used for some local conversion only.

The right question is why should it be available?  Two bodies I
can imagine should develop and publish such a tool:

  1. The ones that defined the format. (old SinaSoft).
  2. Volunteer programmers who most probably should have enough
reasons to do so.

So, either ask your Zarnegar's technival support staff for it, or
develop yourself.  (no don't ask for links, I would have said if
I was going to say).
