Yup, supposed to do Oly .ORF files too.

If you want a quality converter that is less user unfriendly and awkward 
than FileViewer, and don't have or want to go into PS, RawShooter 
essentials is free and very good 
<http://www.pixmantec.com/index2.html>.  I spent quite a few minutes 
looking at files converted with these three. Looking at full frame, full 
pixel, highlight detail and shadow detail, etc., I came to the 
conclusion that none is perfect and all are very good. Very close too, 
and I suspect indistinguishable for real life prints.

Yes, according to the web site. You have to download and install the 
plugins add-on to get the various camera RAW formats, which takes less 
than a minute. I don't have any such files to try. :-)
