Companies like MS and Adobe locking in users to their applications and subsequent upgrades by making sure it is the only way users can read the relevant format hurts us all but sure doesn't damage their profits.
Perhaps when we all move to a database driven FS and files become records, data becoming just another attribute, perhaps then we will move away from such problems, but I doubt it.

My question is this: is there software out there that provides word processing WITHIN the RTF format?
