You can find it on almost >every NeXT-related ftp-server. There is still a feature that would be nice to be included in Rosetta. That is the conversion of different rtf-files. From the concepts of rtf such a tool should not be needed. According to the "Rich Text Format Specification" every rtf-document includes a header with the apropriate information. An application reading such an document should take care of every conversion. Unfortunately there is nearly no :-( NeXT-application that handles escaped characters in an apropriate manner if the file is coming from MAC, DOS or ST. The only one I have seen so far is framemaker, but framemaker has other Problems importing rtf-documents. All the above applies to NS 2.1. I haven't yet tested the rtf-capabilities of 3.0.
