- RTF Reader v2.0ß 29/3/97
- ========================
-
-
- Overview
- ========
-
- RTF Reader is a program to extract the document text from an RTF Version 1.4 text.
- The extracted text is placed into a standard Acorn text file.
-
- 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
- Report -> displays the run report window
- Quit -> quits the RTFReader application
-
-
- Limitations
- ===========
-
- The RTFReader does not fully support the ANSI character set, but will do its best.
-
- RTFReader has not been tested under RISC OS 2 or on a StrongARM processor.
-
- This is a beta release. This program has undergone a lot of testing, unfortunately
- commands have been discovered in Word documents which do not appear in the RTF 1.4
- standard definition. At this time I do not know why the discrepency occurs. Please
- feel free to contact me in the event that you discover a file that RTFReader cannot
- handle and I'll try to get a fix in place.
-
- In addition, the program only currently processes a file which can be loaded into
- memory. Therefore, you may have trouble with large files where you have little memory
- available.
