The problem you have with .max files is that they aren't meshes in the traditional sense of the word, but are instead an instruction stack to 3DStudio telling it how to replay the commands you have entered in order to build the object in the first place.
Therefore, you need a copy of 3DStudio in order to replay the files. I also believe that Discrete haven't actually released the format for the .max files.
So, unfortunately the problem still remains - you need to load the .max files into 3DStudio and then export them as .3ds meshes.
