This package should contain the following files:

- Converters.pas
- Demp.dpr
- DemoApp.dfm
- DemoApp.pas
- ReadMe.Txt

What does this package do:

It gives you an easy way to import and export any kind of Office compatible documents
to and from a RTF.

What's the catch:

You have to install the RichEdit98-component first. This component is created by 
Alexander Obukhov. Install this component first, you can find it on the DSP,
you need it to be able to work with the converters. It is a great component, also allowing
you to have bitmaps and OLE-objects in your RTF. However, the converters are not dependant
on the specific RichEdit, we've used an imported RichTx32.OCX and the Delphi richedit, but
the latter does not support as much RTF-codes as we would wish (no fault of Delphi, rather
from MS).

After you have installed the component you can use the demo application to see how we
have figured out to import and export from and to Office compatible formats. And you are
free to use it in any form you may see fit, as long as you send the original package 
with your program. Read the GNU GPL for the exact 'rules'.

In the future, we might evaluate the possibility to rewrite the code to a separate DLL,
which would be covered by the GNU Library GPL, and as such could be used in commercial work.
Until that time, the normal GPL stands.

Good luck.
