From article <HUGUES.91Apr18134224@adesign.uucp>, by hugues@adesign.uucp (Hugues Lafarge): > You can get on in the file RTF-Spec.rtf which is itself in RTF format > at the anonymous ftp host indri.primate.wisc.edu (address 128.104.230.11) > in the directory ~/ftp/pub/RTF. > You can also find there a translator from RTF to TROFF format (rtf2troff) > which can be adapted to convert to other formats. If you're building a translator for another format, another approach would be to copy rtfskel.c, which is a bare-bones do-nothing translator,a and incrementally build in the capabilities you need. The trouble with using rtf2troff as a basis is that it has all kinds of special hacks and kluges to accommodate troff's (and tbl's) conventions, and undoing all of that would be more difficult than starting from an empty skeleton. -- Paul DuBois "The 'C' shell usually doesn't dubois@primate.wisc.edu have job control." -- LAN TIMES
