Betatesters needed for RTFtoTEXT program

1995-05-25 08:34:11
A group of programmers at the technical university KTH in Stockholm
are developing an RTFtoTEXT program. This program will be superior
to the "Text with layout" feature of Microsoft Word in many
respects. It will produce TEXT documents which agree well with
the Internet "standard" for TEXT documents in RFC 1543.
The program will also produce lines around tables, which
neither Text with layout nor RTFtoHTML does.

Example of output from RTFtoTEXT:
+-----------+-------------+------------+------------+------------+
!WP         ! Save since  !    Will    ! Difficulty !     Sum    !
!           ! interesting !  important !     to     !            !

We need help with betatesting this program. You can help us
in two ways:

(a) Send us an RTF-formatted file which we can test the program
on. We might send conversion results back to you for approval.

(b) If you use a Macintosh, allow us to let you test a beta
version of the program, probably in the middle of July. You
will not get very long time to test it, because everything
has to be ready in the beginning of August.
