It depends on which file(s) output by Wavefront you are interested in.  If I
remember correctly, the outputs of Model, Image, and Medit are publicly
available, but that of Preview is not.  I may have this wrong, but it's
something like this.  Your best bet is to contact Wavefront and ask them.

As far as conversion utilities, they have a catalog for this purpose.  It 
contains a hundred pages or so of third party products available for use
with Wavefront.  Many of these are conversions from or to Wavefront.  Write:

	     Ripples Catalog
	     Wavefront Technologies, Inc.
	     530 E. Montecito, Suite 106
	     Santa Barbara, CA 93103
