Thanks, Mark. English Bob made mention of this. I've also found that Metaseq will export to types that my other freeware can import and convert to Obj.

Wings 3D has served as an awesome import/export converter for me even though I'm still not quite sure how to adapt to actually modeling with it. LOL.

I've also just downloaded the most recent MilkShape however not quite sure if it's still as massively free as it once was or if what I have is some timed-demo but apparently Milkshape is the be all end all when it comes to having a massive number of import/export options.
