<P>The contents of this page are excerpts from the

which however isn't available any longer on Dec. 13, 2001. </P>
 
<P>rtf2latex2e is a utility to convert RTF files from popular word processors
to the LaTeX2e format for those who give a damn about quality typesetting.
rtf2latex2e uses the <A HREF="http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/RTF/">RTF
reader</A> package by Paul DuBois to parse the RTF code and generates an
appropriate <A HREF="http://www.tug.org/">LaTeX</A> file. </P>
 
<P>rtf2latex2e was written on the Macintosh and ported to most major platforms
including Linux, Solaris, and Win95/NT. Building a real Mac application while
still maintaining cross-platform compatibility was made possible by the
<A HREF="http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/DropUNIX/">DropUNIX</A>
application framework. rtf2latex2e is distributed along with the source code
under the <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public
License</A>. </P>
