Test.rtf	: rtf converted version of test file


This utility pretty much does as the name says, just run it and give it
the appropraite file names.  It is still very much a "work in progress"
and so should be considered an alpha version. At the moment, I have only
test compiled it under DOS (Turbo C, ver 1) and checked the rtf output
with QuickView, Wordpad and MSWorks 4 in Win95. As such I would very much
like to get any comments, criticisms, bug reports etc. If you do find a
bug (which is quite likely at this stage) if possible, please include a
copy of the document that you were converting. (my email address is at the
bottom of this file)

However, at the moment my net access is restricted to weekends so it might
take me a few days to reply. 

The program is not very pretty at the moment, and I intend to add things
like better filename input (ie, command line arguements) amd batch
conversions in the very near future, and if I get time, a reverse
capability, ie RTF to Notepad WP.  Any suggestions for new features would
be welcome. 

Also I am releasing this program under GPL, and if anyone is interested in
making a BBC Basic version to run on the Notepad itself, please feel free
(since I don't know Basic very well), but just let me know that you are
doing it and if you need any info on my code.
