There are two other possibilities:
* If you have access to a UNIX machine with FM6, use it's fmbatch
  utility to open the 5.5.6 files and save them in FM6 format.
  fmbatch doesn't give you a dialog and can batch convert all files
  by creating a very simple command file.
* It's possible that the free DZbatcher utility works in the same way,
  but I think it's only available for Windows?
