DECWRITE_RTF, Utilities, Read and write RTF with DECwrite These converters allow DECWRITE to import and export documents in RTF. They also allow the CONVERT/DOCUMENT command line interface to convert RTF documents. The converters DDIF$READ_RTF.EXE DDIF$WRITE_RTF.EXE should be placed in the SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB] directory. When converting from RTF format warnings about unknown RTF control words may be generated. The supported RTF format is based on Microsoft WORD 2 format so later enhancements are not available however, the resultant document should still be usable. An example of the errors generated by the CONVERT/DOCUMENT command is as follows: $ convert/document TEST.rtf/form=rtf TEST.DDIF/form=ddif %CONVERT-W-UNKCNTL, unknown RTF-control-word "\ansicpg" encountered. %CONVERT-W-UNKCNTL, unknown RTF-control-word "\fromtext" encountered. %CONVERT-W-UNKCNTL, unknown RTF-control-word "\uc" encountered. When converting to RTF format you may encounter the errors: %CONVERT-W-STYNOTREADABLE, Can't open style guide file: defstyle or %CONVERT-W-STYNOTREADABLE, Can't open style guide file: dx_times these can be resolved by defining the following logicals: $ define/sys defstyle cda$library:defstyle.ddif $ define/sys dx_times cda$library:dx_times.doc_style The converters are not capable of using rooted logicals in the paths to files: "USER_ROOT" = "DISK1:[ROOT.]" USER_ROOT:[USER]FILE.DOC - will fail DISK1:[ROOT.USER]FILE.DOC - will work before entering DECWRITE the user is advised to $SET DEFAULT to a non-roooted path.
