Date converting on a Mac?

Is there a Mac program that converts Christian dates to Hijri dates? An editor in my office said he uses a program called "CALH" on his PC - is there a Mac equivalent?
Salat Widget looks like it might work, though it seems mostly directed at calculating prayer times.

You can't just do this online? This webpage looks like exactly what you want but there are tons of others.
If you're going to find a free one that works from the command line on a Mac it will probably be java.

The Dashboard widget is good if you need to convert back and forth, but you could also set your Mac to use several different calendars instead of Gregorian, in the International preferences built into OS X. Islamic and Islamic Civil are two of the choices.
