Convert Illustrator CS2 file to CS?

I have Illustrator CS not CS2, but need to open a file saved with CS2. Anyone know of a plug-in or that will allow me to open it or convert it?

If the file is smallish (under 5 megs) you can email it to me at crhoadhouse(at sign)mac.com and I'll convert it for ya.

Cheers

...I'm looking for a permanent solution since this is probably going to be an ongoing issue and I'd hate to have to bug you everyday. Very kind of you to offer though.

I can offer a 30 day solution. Download the 30 day trial from adobe.com (if you haven't already). You can use it for 30 days and convert you're files. Once you download the 30 day trial, it's just a matter of doing a save as.

I will continue to look for plug-ins, but I hope this helps for now.

I believe you can open CS2 files in CS, you just won't be able to use or see any of the new CS2 features in your CS doc.

Actually if you try to open a CS2 in CS, Illustrator will ask you if you want to import? Once you do you can read the file but the content from the multiple layers will be all on one.
