Just posted this on 'bit.listserv.vm-util' yesterday, but someone
told me about this list today (thanks, Nick)...:

I've been looking at the ODF feature that's included with Document
Composition Facility (DCF, or Script) release 3.2; this is supposed
to give you a way to convert from DCF files (like GML Starter Set)
to RFTDCA (Revisable Form Text Document Content Architecture), so that
things like Word for Windows can simply open your DCF doc, and convert
it on the fly into a nice format in Word.

BUT! It looks like a conversion from good ol' Starter Set GML tags to
these weirdo-looking RFT/GML is not included with the deal! You can't
use this thing to convert from Starter Set GML, only from RFT/GML...

Am I wrong (I hope)? If so, anyone got a piece of plumbing (or anything)
that can help to convert from GML to RTF/GML ...??? Thanks
