Awhile back, someone posted a message asking about word processors that
use Microsoft's "Rich Text Format", and I replied that I was able to
successfully generate "Help" files for our freeware WINFRACT program
using an ASCII text editor.
 
Well, now I'm doomed.  Mark Peterson has been inundating me with 
improvements to Winfract and, after I started kidding him about his lack
of documentation, inundating me with RTF files as well.  The only problem
is that he generates *his* RTF files using a real word processor (WFW).
Not only do I have a hard time editing them - his stuff looks a lot *better*
than my stuff!  This is intolerable!
 
Uhh, I am now looking for the cheapest legal way to purchase a word
processor that handles RTF files.  Does anyone remember what the result
of the earlier posts asking about this were?  Remember that we are
using this software to develop documentation for a program that we
give away for free, so price is a prime consideration.
