OK, I have a huge load of files to convert, and it looks to me like rtfreader
works the best.  Luckily, all those ports are small, so I just went and got them
all, and tried them on file files each.  Nothing works perfectly, but rtfreader
seems to be the best of the pick.

Thanks for the reference!
