[comp.sys.next] availability of RTF utils announced in comp.text

I just saw something in comp.text that I thought would be of
interest to this group as well (it was also xposted comp.sys.mac.app).

Someone has made available (via anon ftp) a set of filters for
rtftoX (where X is one of text,troff, etc).  Here is part of the message:

	The translators currently available are listed below.  Most of them
	don't do anything interesting.

	rtf2null        RTF -> nothing
	rtf2text        RTF -> plain text
	rtf2troff       RTF -> troff
	rtfwc           "translates" RTF into character, word and
	                paragraph count
	rtfdiag         RTF diagnostic program, used mainly to test
	                RTF reader
	rtfskel         RTF translator skeleton, for use in building
	                new translators

If you're interested, check out comp.text or comp.sys.mac.app.  Given
all the fuss lately about SLIP and next.com (and the fact that *I*
was involved in a similar debacle a while back), I think I'll leave
it up to anyone interested to check out those groups and see the
original post for info on where to get the sources.


Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity!
