There is an excellent set of utilities for converting from Rich Text Format to normal text or troff available for anonymous ftp from indri.primate.wisc.edu in the directory /pub/RTF. A specification of the protocol is there too. Thanks go to Ed Vielmetti (emv@ox.com) for providing the answer quickly! -- |Paul Lindner |lindner@boombox.micro.umn.edu |"Because Love is all good |University of |U of M ACM President | people need, and Music sets |Minnesota MWNC |I.T.

I wrote 'em, but I wouldn't call 'em excellent. Even the most advanced convertor (rtf2troff) doesn't do things like handle tables, break long output lines reasonably so you can edit the output, allow you to compensate for different troff versions that understand different special character escape sequences, etc. Of course, the only reason I mention this is to be able to say that a lot of that will be in the next release. :-) -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu
