This is the latest version of a stuffed and binhexed utility application for
converting Microsoft Word RTF files, including most formula codes,
into Plain TeX files.

It is almost *certain* that editing the converted document
will be necessary to produce a TEXT file that can be read with a TeX
processor, however, this utility should take some pain out of converting
a technical Word document to TeX (especially mathematics).

* Runs under System 6 or 7
* Does batch processing
* Conversion tables in dialog resources (Is this a "feature"?)

Included is a document file written in Microsoft Word and a "before" and
"after" file. I have also included the end result of conversion with
rtf2tex, a public domain Unix version, which apparently is designed with a
different task in mind.

Updates:
1) New paragraph inserted at least every 500 characters, so long text files
should
not choke OzTeX.
2) Object and Pict code simply deleted.
