Opening or converting .max files

Hi all,
I've found a free model I'd like to use in Daz, but it's in .max format, and none of the software packages I have can convert it. Does anyone have an idea if there is any package outside 3ds that can open/convert it?

.max is a proprietary format for 3DS Max, I don’t think any other software can use them.
you can grab the 30 day trial for 3D studio Max from Autodesk
Thanks, I literally just clicked the download button.
