Is there a way to convert a .aco file to a .ase file so it can be imported into Illustrator 5.5? The .aco file was generated by Photoshop CS 5.5.

In 2017, you still need this behemoth called Adobe Photoshop to convert .aco palettes to use in other Adobe applications. I mean, the same company develops said applications yet you cannot use their proprietary formats between apps? Sheer incompetence from a highly profitable, highly staffed company. SMH!
