Need help with RM to KM conversion

There are 5 upgrades written in RM that I have some interest in. The last four on the list have no corresponding files in KM format and I don't do RM. To check if my attempt at conversion to KM is even close,using Excel, for Panasonic combo2, I converted RM's hex values of the first file in this list as follows:
OBC=VLOOKUP(HEX2DEC(hexValue),BinHexConvTable,COLUMN(compLSB),FALSE), where hexValue is first byte in "Function.*.hex=xx xx" line in RM, and BinHexConvTable refers to the EFC-OBC... spreadsheet with lots of lookup tables. What I did matched the KM version beautifully. So far so good.

But I know I'll stumble on protocols I’m not familiar with, not speaking of complete RM text file translation to something I can paste into excel or KM (protocol, device, function names, OBC, byte2)
I gather from this forum that it is possible for RM to read KM files. If correct, would it be possible for someone who has both RM and KM to post the KM versions of all but the first files? Please :D

This file has a matching KM version (btw, it’s not parked in the RM section):
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files ... 8911).rmdu

These do not:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files ... -AK29.rmdu
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files ... 20DVD.rmdu
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files ... 02X10.rmdu
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files ... -AX25.rmdu

I've been fightling to add the long versions of URLs correctly :eek: , but I think spaces in filenames are doing me in and I've ran out of ideas how to handle it.

They are! ;)

To make a URL with spaces work with the forum software, replace them all with "%20".

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files ... -AK29.rmdu

becomes:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files ... -AK29.rmdu

and

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files ... m DVD.rmdu

becomes

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files ... 20DVD.rmdu

Thanks, Mark. I thought of that for a moment but couldn't believe I would actually HAVE to do it :oops: ... sorry, I just edited my initial message.
