Version 2.02 here, which is the one on David's website. From the Help
file:
To use TransRTF from the command line !TransRTF must have been seen by
the filer. Then simply use the following syntax:
TransRTF:!Convert <input-file> <output-file>
and a DDL file should be produced. This is not the recommended way of
converting Rich Text files but can be useful to see what is being put
into the output file.
I initially typed the output file as RTF, but correctly typing it as a
DDL file doesn't make it work any better, I'm afraid, and I wouldn't
know how to import that file into a Windows program. I suspect I'm
doing something wrong somewhere.
With best wishes,
Peter.
