SUMMARY

.CNF files can be converted to .TXT files by simply renaming the file extension from .cnf to .txt, as both formats are stored in ASCII. There is no need for a conversion process since text editors like Notepad can read .CNF files directly. The discussion confirms that the file content remains unchanged regardless of the extension, making the conversion unnecessary.

You could open it in Notepad and save it as a txt file.
 
You can just rename the file in your operating system. According to this site it is stored in the same format anyway, the file extension just indicates its usage.
Why do you want to "convert" it?
 
A .CNF file is already an ASCII file. So you should be able to just change the extension from .cnf to .txt. But that should be unnecessary, since editors will be able to read it, as is. Just open it with (or send it to) Notepad or another editor.
