RTF Translator 2.00

Ovation Pro for RISC OS has always come with an RTF filter. The original
filter was written by Rob Clark for Beebug.

Alas we lost contact with Rob and the source code for the RTF filter, this
presented a problem when 32 bit versions of RISC OS appeared.

I had a go at porting the object code version of the RTF filter and decided
it was a waste of time, since the Windows version of Ovation Pro would need
an RTF filter, so I'd be writing a new one anyway.

Actually getting around to writing the filter, and then porting it back to
RISC OS has taken many years.


Version 2.01

support cell and row commands - mapped to tab and new line
fix problems caused by RTF from Ovation Pro MakeRTF due to it naming a style BodyText


Version 2.02

RISC OS version is still outputing things which are not supposed to be supported on RISC OS,
e.g. Windows Meta File pictures. Fixed.

Command line usage:

To use TransRTF from the command line !TransRTF must have been seen by the
filer. Then simply use the following syntax:
  TransRTF:!Convert <input-file> <output-file>
and a DDL file should be produced. This is not the recommended way of
converting Rich Text files but can be useful to see what is being put into
the output file.
