MapCruncher yum file

hi all, anyone use microsoft mapcruncher to calibrate scanned maps? It seems that all information about calibration point are saved in a file .yum but I don't understand how the x and y point are saved. I would like to convert this file in a "standard" format like .map or .gmi, someone know if exists a tool to do that?
thanks
