We have hypertext info in Microsoft RTF format, and my boss wants it
available on Unix... Her plan is to run Soft PC on our workstations,
which will be expensive and slow, but most of all inelegant.

I see placeholders in the httpd code for RTF, and documentation on the
web saying that this is being considered, but how long is it likely to
be before I can feed RTF to the web? Is anyone actively working on
this? If so, would you like an alpha/beta test site? If not, where can
I get an RTF format definition, so that I can have a go myself?
