Nice, but not perfect. Last time I had to read an RTF document, OpenOffice
(1.0) got a segfault, kword messed the whole frames layout and abiword had
a different problem (maybe I haven't managed to set it up on that
computer).

The only word processor tat had no compliants was pw (of siag-office), but
it read the document as a latin-1 document, and I could figure of no quick
way to translate everything.

(I figure that it wouls have been possible to write such a filter, after
all, siag-office is built to allow easy filtering, but I didn't think
about it at that time)
