Converting from COE to MIF or HEX

Does anybody knows if there is a piece of software that converts Xilinx`s memory initialization file format - COE, to Altera`s MIF or at least HEX!

Thanks!

    I found one very simple solution for this problem,

    1. Open New Memory Initialization File in Quartus II

    2. Set the memory radix to be same as it is in coe file

    3, Copy the actual contents of the memory from the coe file

    4. Paste it from the begining of the newly opened mif file

    5. Save the file`

    Thanks, I already found the program you attached to your post, but I need one that converts in oposite direction, i.e from coe to mif or at least to HEX, so it seems that I will have to resort to programming!
