[geeks] Document conversion...

Does anyone have any prior experience converting RTFs to something more Unix
friendly?

We have systems in place which generate RTF reports (with embedded WMF/BMP
images) and cover-sheets and we need to somehow convert these into
Postscript for printing and faxing.

So far I've found one opensource program that'll so rtf2ps but misses out
the embedded images. There are a bazillion and one other conversion options
and I'm unsure of the best course.

RTF -> HTLM -> PS
RTF -> TeX .dvi -> PS

Or any of the other myriad options. For now I think I'll proceed with RTF ->
TeX just to see how that turns out.

Any horror stories/suggestions much appreciated.

Will.
