The NBWin filters are Wordport and quite up to date. Current offerings
include

MSWord for DOS v. 3,4,5,5.5
MSWord for Windows 2,6,7,8(Word97)
WP for DOS 5,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1
WP (Corel) 7,8
NB DOS 2,3,4
NBWin
Signature
Xy 2,3/3+,4
(& lots of less in-demand formats)

Unfortunately, the RTF filter is still under development, so you're
limited to listed formats till that comes out.
