<P> A Windows program can hold a conversation with Tex2RTF using DDE. The Tex2RTF server name is ``TEX2RTF'', and the topic name to use is also ``TEX2RTF''.

<P> Tex2RTF functionality is accessed using the DDE <B>Execute</B> message. The <B>Execute</B> data should consist of a command name and possibly one argument, e.g.

<P> <PRE> INPUT c:.tex </PRE>

<P> If the command is not recognised, a standard TEX2RTF.INI option is assumed.

<P> The <B>Request</B> DDE message can be used to query the return status of an <B>Execute</B> command, and will be one of <B>OK</B> (no error), <B>CONVERSION ERROR</B>, or a more specific error string.

<P> The following DDE commands may be used:
