If you open a Macintosh file with it, it will convert it to a Windoze file.

The output options are fairly limited (more on this later).  As a matter of religous dogma, the program doesn't mess with the content of the sound file being converted.

Any file that doesn't fit into this description of a Mac sound or look like one of the supported non-Mac sounds is assumed to be a Mac sound with an unknown header.  A dialog gives you a Swiss army knife of options on how to interpret the file.  You can even play text files if you want to.
