As you suggested your best bet is to get a Corel product and convert them.
Fortunaly Corel have a fully functional trial (30 Days) that you can
download and use to convert your images free of charge. I don't have any
..CPS files to verify this with but I would be suprised if the current Corel
version did not support this.
