2. Installation

  1. Get rtftohtml version 2.7.5 (if you don't already have it) from
    ftp://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/pub/unix-local/misc/rtftoweb/rtftohtml-2.7.5.tar.gz.
    (By the way, version 2.7.4 of rtftohtml works also with rtftoweb 1.5.)
    The latest version of rtftohtml is available from
    ftp://ftp.cray.com/src/WWWstuff/RTF/latest/src/unix.tar.Z
    but note that versions greater than 2.7.5 will perhaps not work with rtftoweb 1.5.
  2. Unpack it with "zcat rtftohtml-2.7.5.tar.gz | tar xvf -".
    (This assumes that you have the GNU gzip-utilities installed. If you haven't it's high time to do so.)
  3. Get rtftoweb-1.5 from 
    ftp://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/pub/unix-local/misc/rtftoweb/rtftoweb-1.5.tar.gz
  4. Copy rtftoweb-1.5.tar.gz into the rtftohtml-directory that has been created by step 2, "cd" to it, and unpack it by "zcat rtftoweb-1.5.tar.gz | tar xvf -".
  5. Patch the original rtftohtml-sources by issueing the command
    "patch -l <patch.rtftoweb-1.5".
  6. Edit makefile.rtftoweb to specify the installation paths and compiler options.
  7. Type "make -f makefile.rtftoweb". (Note that you can still easily make an unpatched rtftohtml, see instructions in makefile.rtftoweb.)
  8. Type "make -f makefile.rtftoweb install" to install rtftohtml/rtftoweb.

That's it!
