Hi Everyone,
I wasn't entirely satisfied with the Ms Word solution because it
requires the program run on Windows and have Office installed.
As an alternate solution, I created the program listed below to read a
file and create a RTF file format document from it.
The program is not platform dependent but it does require installation
of the PyRTF module.
I hope someone finds this useful/interesting.
#!C:\Python24\python
#
# program: rtfmaker.py
# Author: Andrew Robert
#
# Function: Take a supplied file and dump its contents to an RTF file
# This code is platform independant.
#
# Ver Date Programmer Modification
# 1.0 07/21/06 AAR Initial Creation
# 1.1 added argument and source/target
file testing
