Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: unrtf

The man page for unrtf is quite terse. It should have an Example section
showing how to use it.

The Synopsis section just says:

       unrtf [options] [file...]

       Options: [--nopict] [--html] [--text] [--vt] [--latex] [--ps]
[--wpml] [--help] [--version]


Since unrtf is a programme that converts RTF files to other formats, one 
naturally thinks that there should be 2 files on the command line. However the 
synopsis doesn't show that. It was only after using it that I realised the 
output came out on the stdout.
