Anyone know if we have any port that allows conversion of rtf docs to anything
else like maybe ps, pdf, html or maybe even plain ASCII text?

Yes.  There are *several* options that you'll find with a simple ports
search.  If you already have OpenOffice, though, using that will be
easier than installing a whole new program.  [Unless you have to do it
multiple times, in which case a command line tool is obviously
preferable.]

rtfreader (textproc/rtfreader) converts rtf to plain text, it has
always worked for me.
There also seem to be some other ports for dealing with rtf files:
textproc/unrtf
textproc/rtf2html
print/rtf2latex

OK, I have a huge load of files to convert, and it looks to me like rtfreader
works the best.  Luckily, all those ports are small, so I just went and got them
all, and tried them on file files each.  Nothing works perfectly, but rtfreader
seems to be the best of the pick.

Thanks for the reference!
