How can I convert a .max model to any other format?

I found few models with .max format on the net, free models, which I would really like to use but Irrlicht doesn't support .max format so how can I convert it to other format?
Thanks!

I'm not sure if there's any free tools that can convert, so it may be the case that you have to get a copy of max to do this. I think they have a short free trial of it so you may be able to download the trial and then convert your meshes within that trial time.

You mean:
Autodesk 3ds Max 9? Or 3D Studio Max 7? Or something else?

depending on how old was the version whic saved the scene, what was included in it, and how compatible onwards can be the converters...a free beta of ye old 3d explroation, used to open static max files...You can allways try :
