If you have SuperBoomerang (part of the NOW Utilities), it comes with an
extension called (I believe) SuperBoomerang Extractor, which can look for
files inside of CompactPro and Stuffit archives. I don't think it will show
the folder organization, though.

I don't know of any such conversion utility, but if you run across one that
goes the other way, let me know. I find CompactPro archives much smaller
and much more reliable than Stuffit archives, and I don't have to shell out
for a new program all the time either.
