I think Grouper is in freestuff somewhere, under utilities..I do know that .max format won't import into Bryce (or much anything else, either, unless a converter for that program has been made). Lwo files after a certain version won't import either..though I'm not sure where the cutoff is, but it's fairly recent..If you look for back issues of Digit, Computer Art, 3d World, they have C4d (version 6) out there, you might be able to export it into the c4d, then export in a friendlier format (I've done that once..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
