+Subject: RTFLATEX -- July 25th, 1995
+New release of RTF-to-LaTeX converter (RTFLaTeX), 
+version 2.14, by Daniel TAUPIN,
+Laboratoire de Physique des Solides, 91405 ORSAY, France.
+
+New features:
+  -- C source (from p2c) corrected to avoid data overrunning due to a p2c
+     "feature" ignoring string truncation at assignments, but overwriting
+     nearby and unpredictable data,
+  -- font handling conform either to LaTeX2e or to LaTeX209 (option)
+  -- tables (approximately) converted
+Does not convert:
+  -- pictures
+  -- equation editor output (this is... unpredictably coded)
+  -- other features whose semantic is not clear in Microsoft's specifications
+
+Available at anonymous ftp: rsovax.lps.u-psud.fr
+                            Directory [anonymous.rtf2tex] 
+
+                       ftp: hprib.lps.u-psud.fr
+                            Directory pub/rtflatex 
+
+Provided as zipped (executable for MS-DOS, Turbopascal source, standard
+C and data files)
+
+Installation
+============
+To install it quickly on MS-DOS, put all the RTFLATEX.* files in the same
+directory. To get help, execute RTFLATEX without arguments.
+
+To recompile on MS-DOS, either:
+  - use Borland's TurboPascal with RTFLATEX.PAS,
+  - compile "rtflatex.c" with a djgpp/gcc compiler
+      gcc rtflatex.c -ortflatex -lm -funsigned-char -v
+      coff2exe -s <the_complete_path>/go32.exe rtflatex
+
+To recompile on non MS-DOS systems, perform:
+      cc -funsigned-char -v rtflatex.c -ortflatex
+
+For final installation, copy or move the rtflatex executable into a directory
+of the usual path, and copy or move rtflatex.skw IN THE SAME directory. Put
+rtflatex.sty in the usual TEXINPUT directory.
+
+Bugs and associated features
+============================
+WARNING: this is a "(tentatively) quick-and-(less)dirty" trial to
+convert RTF although I do not have all specifications.  If you find an
+\RTFac{xy} in your code just send me a message to say: \'xy should be
+converted as \"Z (for example) or as $\something{}$; in this case specify
+also whether the coding is \ansi or \mac or something else (look at the
+very beginning of the RTF file to find out).
+
+Secondly, note that Word[perfect] allows anything (bold, teletype, etc.) in
+formulae but (La)TeX does not, so you have to look carefully at the way formulae
+are transcribed... and correct the output.
+
+If you find undefined sequences of the form \RTFsomething, think of defining
+  \def\RTFsomething{}   % case of no argument
+  \def\RTFsomething#1{} % case of one argument
+in RTFLATEX.STY if possible... and send me your proposal. You can also
+tell rtflatex to skip that sequence explicitely (even better) by inserting
+a line being either
+  \RTFsomething
+(no argument) or
+  \RTFsomethiing{
+(with one opening brace, case of one argument) into the file rtflatex.skw .
+
+
+IMPORTANT: if you just want to convert the text and the equations, but
+you do not need to retrieve the initial Word[perfect] layout (paragraph
+sizes, line spacings) you have better convert with the "-v" option which
+provides a cleaner LaTeX source, easier to correct for your own purposes.
