It's not super-helpful, though. I've converted many a 2e adventure to 3e and never really used it. Just pick the appropriate 3e creature to replace the 2e creatures, etc.
I tried converting the "Night of the walking dead" from AD&D to 3.5. It's not that hard after all, only problem are those creatures that have been removed from later versions.

Tome of Horrors has a lot of those monsters, or so I have heard.

Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.

That seems simpler, yes.

When I convert, it is usually back and forth between B/X and AD&D 2E. That's easy.
