I've found information on Microsoft's Rich Text Format (RTF) in the book
"More File Formats for Popular PC Software" by Jeff Walden.  For the
curious, it is ISBN 0-471-85077-2.

The description is terse, but I think it will be sufficient for me to write
programs that generate RTF.

Here is a question:  I know that Pagemaker, and perhaps other DTP programs
as well, can import MS-Word documents.  Do they -- or will they -- accept
RTF?  I hope so...
