========================
RTF Reader v1.1 7/6/94
========================
Author : Darryl Sims
Overview
========
RTF Reader is a program to extract the document text from an RTF Version 1 text.
The extracted text is placed into a standard !Edit file.
This program represents the first step toward a more useful RTF tool.
Using RTFReader
===============
To launch RTFReader, just double-click on the !RTFReader icon which will then
appear on the right hand side of the icon bar.
To extract the text from an RTF file, simply drag the file onto the icon bar
!RTFReader icon. The program executes automatically and displays a file save dialog
for dragging into a directory window. The new file contains the extracted text. A
report window is opened when the program executes which is used to show any information
or error messages.
Menus
======
Icon Bar Menu
=============
Info -> displays the standard information dialog
Quit -> quits the RTFReader application
Limitations
===========
The RTFReader does not fully support the ANSI character set, but will do its best.
RTFReader will also attempt to extract from any RTF files which are not Version 1.
RTFReader has not been tested under RISC OS 2.
