Yes, its quite easy, depending on what system you are copying these to.
I believe that a program called "sox" will convert these files, and is 
available as source, compilable on any platform.  

I use Linux, and the Lsox package available on sunsite.  All I ahve to do 
is type
sox quack quack.au
and it will make an .au file that I can play.
sox quack quack.wav
makes a .wav file.

If you use DOS or OS/2, I think you can archie for something called sox 
to do the same thing...
