Is there a program that anyone may know of that can convert from
co-ordinate notation i.e.

1. e2-e4 e7-e5
2. g1-f3 b8-c6
3. f1-c4 d7-d6
4. d2-d4 c8-g4
5. c4xf7+ e8xf7

and change it into PGN format (or more commonly known as algebraic
notation)?

1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 d6
4. d4 Bg4
5. Bxf7+ Kxf7

Any help would be appreciated.

The Chessbase programs do that. I copied your moves above into
Shredder 8 and then copy back out and got this:

[Event "Blitz:8'+2""]
[Site "MyTown"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "New game"]
[Black "Shredder 7"]
[Result "*"]
[PlyCount "10"]
[TimeControl "480+2"]

PGN and algebraic aren't quite the same thing. Specifically, algebraic
notation is a scheme for writing down moves; PGN is a way of putting
multiple games in a text file. PGN uses algebraic notation for the moves.

Anyway, to answer your question, winboard will do the job for you a game
at a time -- load a game in and save it in PGN. I don't know of anything
that will do this in batch mode.

pgn-extract can be used in scripts. URL:
http://www.cs.ukc.ac.uk/people/staff/djb/pgn-extract/ . Both for Windows
and unix. A very recommendable program.
