Thanks if someone manages to compile it. The main trouble is for me:
using imake (a nightmare); with all my very efforts, I couldn't compile
anything ;-)
What I fear:
some features like tables aren't probably included in this tool (maybe I'm
wrong ?). If it is the case, I will probably write one day by myself a
rtf2ms tool. Will people be interested by it ?
