Judith --
I cannot say whether or not the XY4 filter's RTF gives good
output, because I have never tried it. However, a number of my on-line
research programs produce RTF files, and sometimes XY4 converts them, and other
times it chokes.

Fred: this is odd. I've used the rich text filters
to convert xy4Dos files, 7,000 to 9,000 words at a clip. I can't
remember who on the list sent me the filters, but they didn't all come with
my xy4dos--I seem to remember that #17 and #49 had been missing. See my
offer, below, to Bill.
Bill: If you don't get a response from one of
the experts, I can try to send you my filter files. Let me
know.

Bill -- I bought XY4 mostly
for the conversion filters. Unfortunately, while they are fairly good
converting from another word processor's format into XY3 or 4, they are
hopeless converting in the opposite direction. Typical output was one
line per page. Altho the text itself was accurate, the recipient
(typically my staff) went nuts trying to deal with the one line per page
output. I ended up purchasing a good stand-alone conversion filter
programme, which has also been licensed by some of the word processor
producers. I get reasonably good results using the filters
that came with Lotus' WordPro, which was packaged with one of my
computers. If you would like a contact for my stand-alone, write
to me at
