Jim LeBay writes | | How about /usr/bin/rtf-ascii in NS 3.0, | or /usr/lib/indexing/rtf-ascii in NS 2.x. | I found the rtf-ascii program on 2.1 to be flaky. It seems to insert blank lines willy-nilly where they don't belong--a problem when one is piping the output to TeX. Perhaps things have improved under 3.0. I found a much better converter in the public domain using archie. I can't remember quite where it was, but I do have the source if anyone would like it. Scott
