DOCRTF.EXE

This program converts DOC-files from HP-Memo to the RTF-Format
and vice versa. You can use most of the formatting features as
Bold, Underlined, Fields, Page-Break and others. 

The program was build to look like SYSMGR-Compilant, but it's a
normal EXE-File. I think, that the program explains itself.

If you just enter an asterix (*) instead of a filename, DOCRTF
calls the freeware program PICK.EXE from Harry Konstas to let
you choose a file in a comfortable File Selection Box.

One of the future plans are to rewrite the program with PAL 2.0
if it becomes available. (The File Selection Box will then be
part of the program itself)

You can use it directly from the DOS-Prompt on a desktop PC too,
you just enter the following command at the DOS prompt to
convert a DOC-File to a RTF-File:

  DOCRTF [/D] [FILE.DOC] [FILE.RTF]

The FILE.DOC must exist and is the formatted MEMO-file.
The FILE.RTF is the RTF-file created by the procedure, if the
file allready exists, it would be overwritten.

To use it to convert from RTF to DOC use the following command
line option
  
  DOCRTF [/R] [FILE.RTF] [FILE.DOC]

It's very important, that the /D or /R parameter are written
before the filenames.
