1. lrf2lrs - converts a (DRM free) LRF file to LRS format
2. lrs2lrf - converts the LRS file from step 1 back to LRF

lrs2lrf actually reconstructs the LRF file from the LRS, and the resulting LRF file you end up with is not exactly the same as the LRF file you started with - one of the changes is that headers are stripped - I believe this is an unintentional feature (aka a bug). However, if like me you like to get as much wordage onto each screen as possible, and you do not need to be reminded on each screen of the book/author you are reading, then you might like this feature.
When you convert a book using Calibre, you are creating a new book with new options, for instance adding a header or removing it. You still can't turn the header on/off in a book that has already been created.
