  13. > The RTF translators in the contrib
  14. directory don't work at all (in either direction).

  17. We use these regularly for translating documents between Macs running
  18. WordPerfect and UNIX hosts running Andrew's ez editor. 
  19.  
  20. These translators don't work with complete fidelity, but we've found
  21. them most useful for basic document translation.  They've been a very
  22. handy adjunct to the toolkit for us, as they let our Mac users exchange
  23. formatted material with UNIX Workstations which aren't licensed to run
  24. WordPerfect applications. 
  25.  
  26. Did you have specific problems with these translators, or did they
  27. really not work "at all"?  Maybe they were built or installed
  28. incorrectly?
