Introduction

This document describes a utility for converting L^ATEXlatexgloss files into several other formats.

Only a subset of L^ATEX can be processed by this utility, especially since the target document language will never perfectly match L^ATEX. Whether the quality of the results is good enough will depend upon the application and your own expectations.

Tex2RTF is heavily biased towards making on-line, hypertext versions of ^ATEX documents, but the RTFrtf converter can be used for normal, linear documents too.

The latest version of Tex2RTF can be accessed by anonymous ftp from:

skye.aiai.ed.ac.uk (192.41.104.6)

in the directory /pub/tex2rtf. It is available in SPARC Open Look and Windows 3.1 versions.

Tex2RTF was developed using the free Open Look, Motif and Windows 3.1 C++ class library wxWindowswxwindows, also available from the above FTP site in the /pub/wxwin/beta directory.
