Freehand Import Plugin for Illustrator

Does anybody know of a plugin to import Freehand files to Illustrator? Since Adobe aqcuired Macromedia, I'm sure they'd think of doing that.

And since I migrated from Freehand to Illustrator - and have no way to import the files.

Illustrator can open Freehand files up to version 9. If you're using a newer version of Freehand export your files back to version 8 or 9. [Avoid EPS as they can produce unexpected results when opened in Illustrator] Below are the links to some tips and techniques created by Adobe about this subject.
