There is also some rtf2??? tools out there that supposedly convert to LaTeX and HTML. I looked at them some time ago and the porting pain outweighed the benifit. M$ recently "enhanced" RTF so I doubt anything will handle rtf out of '95. If there's not too much, you can tr the carriage returns to line feeds and edit most of the markup out. _Most_ rtf files are plain text with markup. (Except for CR instead of LF.) -- Jay
