Convert PEM to PPK file format

Is there a way to convert PEM files to PPK files? (you may guess that Amazon EC2 gives me a PEM file, and I need to use the PPK format for SSH connectivity).

ssh putty pem

I used a trial version of ZOC Terminal Emulator and it worked. It readily accepts the Amazon's *.pem files.

The trick is though, that you need to specify "ec2-user" instead of "root" for the username - despite the example shown in the EC2 console, which is wrong! ;-)
