Hi Glenn,

I realized that you still consider MARTHA as
the default rtf converter. The problem with this
program is that it does not support any other
charsets than ISO-8859-1.

After quite some time looking for an alternative
I am currently using two different ones.

The first is:

        UNRTF    EXE     49756 02.01.99    2:03

Error message tells me:

        "This is UnRTF, version 0.18.1
        By Zach T. Smith"

This offers MANY options for output format.


        R2H      EXE    103123 19.08.03   22:22

With --help parameter it tells you

        rtf2html version 1.1 beta
        Use: c:/$dos/bin/r2h.exe [rtf_filename]

This is the program I prefer, although it is larger.
My current rtf RTFView.bat:

        type %1|sed "s#\\~# #g"|sed "s#\\-##g"|r2h|
           sed -f i:\i18n\sed\wce-ice.sed>d:\x.htm

The first two sed filters convert MS-Word's inseparable space
and hyphen characters.

The last sed filter converts MS-Words cp1250 to ISO-8859-2.

Other users could probably live without the filters.

Regards
Christof Lange
