I just ran across an RTF to TeX package at the anonymous ftp site 
niord.shsu.edu.  The following is extracted from the file 
rtf2tex.description there:

Files available include a .zipped executable (presumably for PC RTF files)
and C source code.

Also at this ftp site is a directory entitled wp2latex, which includes
programs to convert WordPerfect documents to latex.  Again, this is intended
for PC files, but you could convert the source code (Turbo Pascal) to the
Mac, or move files to a PC for conversion to latex.
  This site includes a very large number of items of interest to people
working with latex or tex.

  I do not know how these programs will compare with the one offered to you
by Steve Dorner.  I would be interested in any comparisons between these
programs, if you try more than one, or in hearing if you actually port
either of the PC conversion programs to the Mac.
