Also some functionality was added. + * Corrected bug in selection of Standard vs. Normal Style + reported by Doug L. Hoffman + * Corrected bug of writing into strings in Error Message + reported by Richard Kooijman + * Corrected problems people had with SEEK_SET undefined + * New rtf special characters bullet, emdash, endash, left double quote, + right double quote, left quote, right quote are now translated. + * New Options to use german versions of quotes with german.sty + * New option to replace paired double quotes by appropriate left- and right + quotes on output. + * In Error messages the name of the program should now be printed. + +RTF is the "Rich Text Format" a format to exchange documents. The format +can be generated by several Text Processors, for example Microsoft Word +and some programs on a Next. +There already is a program to convert RTF to (plain) TeX written by +Robert Lupton called rtf2tex. rtf2LaTeX is based on this program but +tries to produce correct LaTeX which is in a form suitable for further +editing after conversion. +rtf2LaTeX is based on Paul DuBois' rtf reader package. +It contains some modifications to the original reader. These changes were +sent to Paul DuBois and are incorporated into a new release of his +code. +rtf2LaTeX was written by Erwin Wechtl as a one-semester practical work +at our department. It may still contain bugs. If my time permits I will +try to maintain the package, but note that I didn't write the code and +so I will also have to dig into the sources if something goes wrong. + +The sources to the new version 1.3 as well as the diffs from version 1.2 +to 1.3 (1.2 was the first public release) can be obtained by anonymous +ftp from: +ftp.vmars.tuwien.ac.at +in the directory /pub/misc +in the file rtf2LaTeX.1.3.tar.z +and the patch is +rtf2LaTeX.patch1.z +you need the new gunzip program to uncompress the file. Sources can be +obtained from the same ftp server in /pub/gnu/gzip-1.0.6.tar.Z +This, however may not be the current version. +Alternatively you can specify the file name rtf2LaTeX.tar when +downloading via ftp and the program will get decompressed on the fly. |
