[comp.sys.next] R.T.F. to text formatter

lindner@cs.umn.edu (Paul Lindner) (03/22/91)

Does anyone have any code that will transform a Rich Text Document into
something suitable for terminal output?  If not, where could I get a hold
of the RTF format specification.  I know microsoft must publish the
specification somewhere.

anonymous ftp to indri.primate.wisc.edu (128.104.230.11), look in directory
pub/RTF, for both.  The filter you want in the distribution is rtf2text.

If you are generating files from Word for Windows, contact me first.
The current distribution (1.05) will probably gag on such files, but
the stuff I'm working on now should do better.
